I've been working on my second picture book since late last year and I've decided that its time for me to get started on making a dummy-book so that I can see where the project's going. As I find it easier to draw the illustrations first and then concentrate on the text when the pictures are finished - or almost finished - I haven't really spent much time on the words yet. Over the past few months, I've attempted putting words together and trying to get a story-line sorted out, but its still got a long way to go. So far I think I've written parts of it out about four times - and I haven't even made it to the end yet!
Anyway, here are some pics:
This is just after I've glued the pages together - a tiny blank book that I've got to try to fill with appealing pictures and creative text...
I printed out some of my finished illustrations this morning and stuck them into the dummy-book. This time round, I'm making the book portait orientation instead of landscape like Cuastard and Carriages.
And here is another page of the book. So far I've completed 7 illustrations and have another two in progress. For the finished book, I will need thirteen illustrations - I'm slowly getting closer!
