My Bed Is A Sailing Boat

I was so excited when Annabel asked me to illustrated her third children’s story ‘My Bed Is A Sailing Boat’. I read the script and immediately I was getting ideas buzzing around my head for what the images would be for each spread. We began the project by discussing the book in detail and once I had a clear image of what Annabel was looking to achieve, I began drafting out ideas for the book spreads. I started with purely rough, scribbled ideas to get my thoughts across and once Annabel was happy with the initial concepts, I started working on the character designs for the three main characters. We went through a couple of iterations for the character design of the young boy, and a few colour changes to their outfits, but largely the designs stayed the same.
