Study for potential first pages of my children’s book
/22/365
I’m starting to feel the my days dwindling down to March 31. As of today, I should be drawing a complete page every 3 days. Yesterday I faced the obvious fact that I haven’t got a single page drawn in the 21 days I’ve been on this project. So, today I thought I’d better get started even if I don’t feel ready. I thought the books should start with a two-page image that introduces the Jaybird family, Momma, Jenny, and Jimmy Jay.
Rather than having them flying south, I thought I’d have them take the bus instead. This seemed like a good idea since I haven’t really worked out whether my birds will have arms with hands and fingers, or have wings. And if they have wings, how would they carry their luggage, which looks quite heavy.
I’ll be working on my lettering and wavering daily on the color palette for this story.
Another Jaybird that turned out older than he should have. I’ll just say that he’s one of Jimmy’s uncles.
