Working together making a picture book
As an illustrator, I am open to a possibility for partnership. Making a good book does not always necessarily an individual marketplace. Everyone has their own story to tell, means each of us has a chance to tell the world about our own ideas, which came from our inner child.
Out there on public picture book not only made by people who can draw, it can be you, a father, a mother, a teacher or even a police officer. Everybody can make a good picture book if they believe in their self, be different ! There's nothing to lose, you don't know if you never try.
Let me hear about you, tell me your inspiration. Let me see your dream and know more about your self, your background and how you've got your inspiration from. If we can collaborate our concepts, the following order will be progressing the workflow.
Workflow
Sketching I
First step
Sketching the ideas on a paper or agenda, or blank space that you comfortable with.
Draw it in few little blocks, no need to be perfect. What sentences that has been playing in your mind, funny words or exciting words, write it down.
Try to write in every block the sentences that you think is great or worth to draw a picture of.
To make a children book, at least we must have a 35 pages of picture, including sentences in every pages.
At the end, build a good story lines. Introducing what is the book all about, for who is the book make for, age range of the childrens who will be interested. Tell how fun it is and the moral inspiration for the one who's reading it.
No worries, this first step we can do it together, meeting will be appropriately needed so we can see each other visions.
Sketching II
Second step
Prepare work sheet in a large blank paper and draw a line, secure line to know the boundries as a frame.
Most of the time, I am working with 10 large pages in a day and I can finish one book sketching on large pages in one week.
Need concentration, I let my self to focus with the story that we've made at the first step and sketching it in my own time.
When I am finish sketching on 35 large pages, I will show it to you the result.
Remember, working together as a team we must not lose our commitment. The goal is to motivate the children to keep love reading a fun and exciting book.
Some correction need so much time and effort, no need to rush, the best success books was not create in one day.
Painting job
Third step
Painting is the hardest work in making a picture book, proximity four months works or more.
Need the same concentration as at the step two, I let my self playing with all the colours in my own time but still stay to the concept that we've made at the first step.
