"Sara's eyes grew wide as the story unfolded."For Illustration Friday this week. I did this just for the challenge this week, but it has special significance for me because I finished the illustrations for the children's picture book I've been working on for the last 4 months. Yep, I'm done! and the discs with all the illos has been sent off to the designer to put it all together for printing. I think the word "unfold" is appropriate for the end of that little chapter in my life. I took the words on the pages, combined them with pictures and they unfolded into a book. It was an awesome experience and I really hope I get to do another one. And soon, too! I miss it already. It's weird to work so hard to get something done, then when it's finally done, I'm sad because I won't get to do it anymore.
This illo was done with a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop.
