Howl and his Grandma.

Here are some colour roughs for howl and his grandma and the first 2 double spreads of my book. :)

I'm aware Howl looks abit like a girl, I'm going to have a look into his character a little more soon and just iron it out :)

These are the ones I had clearest in my head, so the other colour roughs (that are not just watercolours) are coming along but a tad more slowly.

Any thoughts would be lovely.

Liv bargman!

some gorgeous stuff here, both in 3D & 2D - note how the drawings relate to Liv's ability to work three dimensional - the hand drawn text looks inspired from her cut-out text
lots more here

some great blog sites to browse over
