My Favorite So Far

Ok decided I wanted to soften the images a bit with charcoal drawings used for the background. 

Yet Another Try

*edit, that was supposed to be "When the WORLD...not word"

Another Spread

Again, these are rough color sketches for a dummy book.

More Experimenting!

Rougher charcoal texture on the bear suit, added some clouds and the gradation of yellow to orange is less severe.

Dummy Book Pages with Pastel

Round Two Dummy Book

 

Decided on a more limited color scheme, and added some tension between the characters on the first two pages.  That way the page turn brings them together and has a warmer feeling with the "Eskimo kiss" :)

More Dummy Book Pages

After I finish drawing in the images I'm going to be binding it with book cloth/board and a little ribbon to tie the book shut.  Got the idea to do this from a Chris Raschka video.  Check it out!
