@theprairiefox My favs #12. I kinda wanna see the boys eyes looking at the figure as seed falls from his hand. A moment during instead of a moment before if you get what I mean
-
@Braden-Hallett yeah, I will play with that. I am having a hard time deciding which I like most.
I was thinking that 12 could be really fun if I took that POV for the rest of the book as well!

-
@theprairiefox close! How aboooooooout this!
-
@Braden-Hallett yeah better... I added the change. Also playing with the placement of the text. Let me know what you think.
Note the variation of the lines. They will not be black but just cut away from the white of the building so the paper will show through. I am thinking the building will be made of rocks. I tried to show that here.

Here is my final sketch that I will be using to create my plates for printing!
The rocks and wood will be white with the paper showing through in the gaps. And the old lady will be a very dark green (her backpack will be black.)
If the print works... now I race to get it done tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Good luck
I really like the stones of the house. Puttin' the page fold down the middle is a good idea, too!
-
@Braden-Hallett yeah, the line around the outside is the bleed as well. I am planning on putting this in a book dummy so I setting it up so I can print it using blurb and they have a 1/8 inch bleed.
All the things you have to think about if you are really going to print!

Always a pleasure to see the block printing illustrations. My new year resolution is to try silkscreen. I will make at least one svs monthly contest in silkscreen next year :-).
-
@xin-li can't wait to see it!
I am new to all of this (have been doing printmaking for about a year now) and silkscreen is on my list of technics to learn.
I love the looseness and texture that traditional printmaking provides. Such a rich quality...
