This is what I've been doing this Spring semester!

Children's Book FINAL

This is my final assignment for Concept and Technique, 

taught by Bill Maughan and Angela Dominguez.

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.
