Snippet of watercolour by way of celebration

Underlying watercolour.
The original plan was to have all watercolour- but I was way behind- so I decided watercolour colour and black photoshop lines.
The watercolour alone is nicer but I didn't trust myself given the time (seeing as this is my first traditonal media book).
Next time.....

Little Bad Wolf ...prettty much done

Hooray

Little Bad Wolf- cover lines.

A few versions in lines of the cover for Little Bad Wolf-
Riffs on the main front cover idea- with me  trying to decide who's on the back.

There was a whole round of roughs before it.
and a whole series of last minute shenanigans as a commitee descends
and attempts to design after the fact-

or the colour as the case may be.

Little Bad Wolf- Endpages roughs and lines

Little Bad Wolf- watercolours on spare drawings

Need to add the black lines to make  them match the rest of the book.
I did have the black lines- but when I was closing photoshop I didn't save the file ( I thought I had already and thought it was doing its 'save changes' when you hadn't really changed anything)

Little Bad Wolf.

Woefully behind I feel- my replacement cintiq pen arrived today.
Thankfully it worked/cintiq works so I don't have to face the loss of $3000 piece of equipment.
But I have been trying to test with watercolour and find some colours I'd like to use.

Here is an example.

Sugar Princess

Half baked unfortunately- started on the left with dress decorations and .....nothing on the right.
A scratchy idea for a Little Bad Wolf character.

 Just need to learn more about princess dresses I guess.

Yes a troll is a person in your neighbourhood, in your neighbourhood

.......In your neighbourhood

Some of the idle ideas for Little Bad Wolf's neighbours.
Little bad wolf lives in a suburb where every house is a microcosm of some fairytale setting- but with some modernity thrown in.

Normally my initial sketchbook ideas are completely unreadable....these moderately so.
That's ok  -they're in a blog that's largely unread- so nature keeps its balance.

Little Bad Wolf- one of the cover ideas

Little Bad Wolf- unused title page roughs

A just a few of the ideas for title pages- (not all).

Finished round of Little Bad Wolf roughs

YaY!

Little Bad Wolf

A scribble while at the CYA conference a month back.
Had thoughts for something similar as a cover idea.
