"The Tom Thumb" by Charles Perrault, 2019
The colorful cover of the children's book will be a decoration for many evenings. Opening the book, the reader each time feels a sense of aesthetic pleasure, looking forward to a pleasant reading.
This is about 60 hours of continuous drawing, as well as searching for ideas, creating references and a lot of coffee. The illustration had to withstand the atmosphere of mysterious history, show the character of the main character and compose the title of the book.
P.S. And the main character is my little baby, which causes tickling and tenderness inside me.
These drawings were created for the contest "New Book", organized by the Russian publishing house "Rosman" (http://newbook-awards.ru/). This is a squeezing of knowledge about illustrating children's books, working with storyboard, spread, cover, as well as text and layout.
