I have been using what I was taught in my design workshop on line painting to colour in my objects for my first page.

I am really pleased so far how well my images are turning out, despite taking a long time with all the layering of paint and small brush strokes I am doing. I am hoping my main characters which I will be designing next will go just as well.

I need to start thinking also about the type of font I want for my pages. At the moment I am torn between keeping the book looking quite traditional and using a serif font with straight lines such as Times New Roman, or a more handwritten font (perhaps designing one myself) to keep the book looking child-like and also matching my messy/painted look images.
