This is my journey in creating concepts, writing, illustrating, finding a literary agent, and becoming a published children's book author and illustrator for the picture book genre.

sketching an entry

I am trying to perfect my sketch of the Krumpy and answer all the details that needs to be said about the little guy. The Krumpy is wise and offers good advice...

Next stage is color. I like to layer color and detail. Imagination allows for freedom of color. Here is where the real work begins.

After detail with water and pastels, this may be the start of ten pages in preparation for my grant. I am sure I will add more detail as I find areas that could use more work. It happens when you continue to stare at a picture long enough.
