Walking into the Light at the End of the Story

I plan to make this drawing of the family walking (and flying) together the final image in my children’s picture book. I’ve done several other pictures that seemed, at the time, to be the right picture for the last page of the book, and I may change my mind about this picture. So many options in designing a book, an infinite number, in fact! At some point I’m going to stick a fork in it and declare it finished.

There is a problem with this drawing — the line width is too thick. This happened because, again, I couldn’t find the original PSD file and had to scale up the PNG that I created for a previous blog post.

I painted this image with Affinity Photo on my iPad. I’m a little more comfortable with the program today than yesterday. Practice works wonders. I’m optimistic that Affinity Photo will be my go-to painting app.

And so, one story ends and another begins…
