Drawing SO MANY Dragons!


When Paul and I sat down to plan out our next project last year, we envisioned how much easier a chapter book would be with only black and white illustrations, or line drawings toned in Photoshop instead of all those big full colour illustrations in our picture book.

Hah!

Part of the problem is that I am a perfectionist...

Part of the problem is that need to earn other income while the publishing and illustration side of Dragon Dreams is still growing...

Part of the problem is that there were a lot more illustrations to do than we’d truly understood...

but as the last few drawings get inked, our final edits are being done and everything is getting ready to go to the printer, I am getting excited!

I know that when we hold the copies in our hands, it will all be worth it...

but I think I have a better understanding of how an elephant feels being pregnant for 2 years!
