“The Giant in the Meadow” Illustration process

I have been working on a children's book concept called "The Giant in the Meadow" for the past few months. While I cannot reveal the plot just yet, I am happy to share my creative process.

To start, I focus on the size of the illustration, which helps me determine the composition. Next, I sketch out all the elements that I want to include in the illustration. Once I have a clear idea of what I want to portray, I use watercolor wash to paint each item individually.

After hand-painting all the elements, I scan each one into the computer and place them where they were in the original sketch. I then edit each item digitally as necessary to ensure that the final composition is cohesive and visually appealing.
