A BOOK!

 

School is coming to a close, and LAST summer I was excited to be illustrating a brand new board book in the If I Were... series by Shelley Gill. THIS is the official cover and a few weeks back I also received an official printed copy of the book. I was still illustrating this project through the fall and sharing the progress with my students at school, so it was really fun to show them the final result.

It looks great, you can pre-order it now, and its release date is September 2nd. Stay tuned for more info as the summer wanders, and I'll be sharing some downloadable coloring book pages and a how-to-draw a fox video at some point later in July :)

PS Just a few of the cover development sketches shared below. I always love the sketching and discovering phase - and that includes thinking about color options as compared to the other books when you are working in a series. Thanks for reading!
