more children's book stuff, finally getting to some finished-looking stages. It's been an unecessarily long road

scanner did weird thing

Children's book illustration work today. Tried working in goauche with surprisingly impressive results. I'm sticking with it. These are just mockups, but I do wanna try layering some more colors on them to see how well goache does with it

No personal work this time. Worked on the children's book today. These are just mock watercolor pages though, I wanted to try some in goache to see how that feels, and then maybe then I can start on the real pages. Like it's kinda funny, this photographer guy suggested I print out the sketches on watercolor paper to give myself endless tries of coloring styles, and it's worked wonders for my anxiety of messing up the first page haha. It's just cool to me how even in a different artistic area he was able to give me that kind of advice, like wow how did I not think to that in the first place?

Unfortunately couldn't get around to sketching in my personal sketchbook today. Had to work on this commissioned children's book.
