Secret Progress..

I thought that I would post a few pictures of an unfinished Secret Circus scene. As I go along, I would love to document the whole thing, from blank canvas to finished page...it's not a hard thing to do, I just have to remember to do it!

My favorite parts of the whole book process, would have to be the brainstorming, and the painting. I love thinking of the story and the images, and I love it when I can get down to the painty part as well.

The sketching and the making of the dummy, are so hard for me. I toil and toil and toil. I think I've complained before about my lack-of-sketching gusto, but I'm learning that in the book process, there really isn't any way around it.

That's ok though. All of the parts seem to balance themselves out, and for every hair pulling sketching moment, there seems to be a thrilling and beautiful painty moment...
