Time for another Speed Draw!

Hello amazing people! I’m back with another speed draw. Today I want to share one of my favourite illustrations. This was the last picture I drew, it came to me easy because I had this image in my head even before I even had the book written. It just sums up this book perfectly. I love the idea that the fox is looking back but is moving forward. My inspiration behind this was to show that we are always moving forward, opening new doors, exploring new places, yet even though we are always changing, somewhere deep inside, we don’t forget where we have been and the amazing experiences we have had on the way. Where there is a down, there is always going to be an up, and vice versa. It’s an adventure just waiting to be explored.

I purposely put this illustration at the very back of the book because it lightly shows character development in the smallest way, but makes a great impact. At the start of the book, the fox is just looking at the doors, too afraid to go through or give it a try. Towards the middle the fox is trying doors to see if it would open, and by the end, the fox is happily walking through doors into the unknown. It’s about the journey, and not the destination.

Hi amazing people! I’m back with another speed draw and today I wanted to focus on the back cover. This wasn’t as tricky to draw compared to the front cover since I already had an idea of what I wanted to do, but it was still a fun challenge. I was constantly weighing up how much detail I should add considering that half of the image would be cut off due to the blurb at the back, and barcode. It was tricky trying to fit all the information I needed, plus have the illustration work with the information.

Hi everyone! Today I’m back with another speed draw and today I want to share one of my biggest challenges. Framing. Coming from an animation background I’m not used to sharing the space/image with text as it’s usally replaced with sound. Sometimes I’d start drawing and forget all about the fact that I need to add text. Oops! To avoid this issue next time, it sometimes helps to leave a square or a blank space as a placeholder for where the text is going to go, then draw around it. I didn’t think too much about framing because I wanted to get the book finished, and getting picky about the angle, and the shot size (Close up, long shot, etc.) was preventing me from completing it. As long as it got the main point across and matched that words, that’s all that mattered. It started off as a project that was just for fun, nothing too serious.
