Sometimes I'm a Fire-Breathing Dragon

I'm recording my progress while working on my children's book: Sometimes I Blow Fire Like a Dragon. My goal is to launch my book in October. I'm choosing to self-publish through CreateSpace.com. If this blog bores you out of your mind, don't worry. I'm mainly doing it for myself- as yet another way to keep focused on the project.

Back to the drawing board

Synopsis of my book- Three kids explore different feelings as they go through their day to day activities; anger, anxiety, etc. They learn that by using their imagination they can deal with these powerful emotions and turn a problem into an adventure!

Sound corny? I'm working on the synopsis... the storyline is better, I promise.

Here is the general direction that this project will go in---

1. Tight Sketches
2. Inking and scanning
3. Digital color and textures
4. Text layout
5. Publish!

I'm in the tight sketches phase right now. And I'm pretty much picking back up where I left off when I was in college. Most of my spreads have blank backgrounds, so that is a huge part of what I'm sketching now- filling in the blank space.I'm also fixing a lot of GLARING awful mistakes-weird faces, incorrect body proportions etc..unfortunately they crop up on almost every page, but I'm choosing to see this as a good thing. It will make the whole book a lot more consistent if every page is reworked.
