Watercolour Paint for Childrens Book Illustration of Forest Creatures

Having finished my essay… at last, I can start to concentrate on getting creative again. Only a few weeks to go now, until our 2nd Year degree exhibition, slight panic! I started developing my anthropomorphic ‘Woodland Animal’ series, by just tentatively trying out colour palettes. There are six all together and I’ve just got some finishing touches and the characters to paint now. Hopefully they will come together once I’ve finished, but I guess it’s been an amazing learning curve whatever the end result. I’ll be posting the finished paintings here, hopefully very soon.
