Project Kids Book Update 6

     Since my last post, I've printed out my sixth revision and finally started on only what the most generous of souls would call illustrating. See, I wanted to get an idea of what the animated scenes would look like when they had text accompanying them, so I cut up rough draft number six and glued each scene onto a blank sheet of paper and drew a (really) rough sketch of the story under each section of text. After I had an illustration for each blurb of text, I stapled the sheets together and had my very first version of an illustrated kids book, which was a pretty damn good feeling if I might so. Now I can read my story, and flip through the pages, and even stop and show pictures (not that I'd want to with these drawings), which is pretty exciting.

Project Kids Book Update 5

     So the story is about as done as it's gonna get, now it's time to get into illustration mode. I posted some pictures below of what the characters looked like at the beginning of last month verses what they look like as of now. Take a look, here's most of the characters.
Sue, the shoe
Marcus, the banana 

James, the music note

Ramona, the sunflower
