I had a lot of fun making this even though I know it's very Ermentrude. I thought about using colour pencils to colour the illustrations but then I decided on a different plan:
- Improve my drawing skills and redraw them
- Scan the drawings into Photoshop and colour!
- Print out using the print
- Boom! Finished Magic Book!
This is going to take some time though so keep an eye out for it. Until then here is the concept/original drawings.
When I first sat down to start after making the book I wasn't sure what I wanted my book to be about. But it is a magic book and so the first idea that stuck was to be about a magician. And of course you want books to be useful and so here it is, a story about how to pull a rabbit out of a hat - something everyone needs to know!
Have you ever made a magic book? Let me know in the comments below!
