Final Image for the Kids Eating Giant Burritos

It’s time to move on to the next picture, which will show the kids heading off into the jungle. My deadline for completing this book is June 30, about eight weeks from now. I have about 30 pictures to paint, which means that, going forward, I have to paint a picture every two days. Yikes! To do that I’m going to simplify my paintings. The liklihood is that my simplified pictures won’t share the same style as the first pages I painted. I had this problem with my first book, with the style shifting multiple times before I completed the book.

I’ve settle on the digital brushes I’ll use for inking and painting. The inking brush is something like a Micron liner, with a little texture and not perfectly smooth. The two brushes I use for color are a Copic-like marker and a canvas-textured gouache-like brush. I’ve got to travel light. So be it.
