Children’s Storybook Illustration

I have published nearly fifty books so far! It’s hard to believe, but I guess if you live long enough, things get done. 🙂 I would like to add a children’s book or two to that list. I have always loved quaint stories of animals living in little houses in the trees. Wind in the Willows has always been a favorite of mine, not only for the wholesome stories, but the cute little dwellings with tea things and rocking chairs.

I have a lot of work ahead of me to hone those skills for adding the illustrations and formatting, but here is a progression in my square art journal. The following pictures show the progression of adding details to the illustration.
