Now that the illustrations are finished I need to prepare
the pages where they will be glued into. To begin this I have transferred the
outlines of the footers onto the bottom left page of each spread. I then
painted them using the same techniques I used for the original designs. I
changed some of the patterns on the Newt but this was the only change from the
original drawings. At the top of the left pages I added the titles of the
animals. These were illustrated using a sienna coloured felt tip pen. The
colour wash over the top was done using ink wash that I applied using a
scrunched up paper towel. I have tried to keep the colours looking organic and mossy
so they fit in with the book. When it was drying I let the ink run down the
page so it added to the watery pond idea. Below are some photos of my progress.
