Here is a close up, sneak peak, of another page I just finished. The original sketch for this page was completely different, I had the book dummy and layout, did the drawing and rendering and half way through I gave up, twice actually, as I simply couldn’t make the drawing work. So I then completely change the whole page around from a close up to a high angle perspective… Not 100% sure yet whether I like it or not… I might redo it again.

I guess these are the micro despairs along the way, crawling slowly uphill from the pit of despair (see picture below.)

This one is great, the shadows move the action nicely. Hang in there, your illustrations will be worth it!
