WHAT CHARLENE DID NEXT?, END PAPER MAYBE?

Here are some development from my drawings...
I tried to draw over my drawing on Photoshop with my mouse pad,
Just starting to have a hand-ache now.. Well I am quite happy with them actually.

Then I tried to make them into a pattern,

I thought it might be good for the end paper.

Turns out that the flower don't really go with the rest.... 

WHAT CHARLENE DID NEXT? TRYING TO GET SOME STYLE!

I took some photos from kyoto garden at Holland Park, The Garden was quite small,

not much to draw with.... Here are some roughs drawings that I did for Macmillan.

WHAT CHARLENE DID NEXT?, SOME INSPIRATIONS FOR THE MACMILLAN COMPETITION.

I chose a few books that I like and just very briefly explained what I like about them,

hopefully they could inspire me a bit ...

Reflections + Scales

Butterfly Time

Alice E. Goudey

Squeeze more details in one page.

The Animal Fair 
Alice and Martin Provensen

Again, Reflections and scales. It is a little similar to butterfly time,

but the proportions between the objects and the characters affects the image very differently. 

Limited/ framed the image

The angles and compositions of the characters have created strong visual effects.

Here are the cover and some of the pages in my book.
