Children's Book FINAL

This is my final assignment for Concept and Technique
Great class! I learned a ton! I still can't believe there's only two months time between the two versions, and look how much better I got in terms of executing basic things like light and shadow, and color, value, etc.!

The illustration:
Very time-consuming.... and EXTREMELY FUN to work on!
The designs changed constantly, which changed the story along the way...
... but I'm really happy with the end result.

I still can't believe I was "satisfied" with the original version. 
I'm sure I'll feel the same way about the revision, 
when I look back on it years from now.

Version 2 - Revision
(December)

Version 1 - Final
