First sketches

...of the follow up picturebook from the animals of 'de Dierderij', called 'Logeetjes op de Dierderij'. The 'dummy' cover will help me to compose the image which fits best.

Swanlake

Finally I finished the drawings of the swanlake picturebook. Every start has it's end! The originals are 55x27,5cm in size, full colour in mixed media. I tried to experiment with new technique and concept. The story is set in the Charleston period. I wanted to stay within the fairytale concept but placed the settings in another period of time, which gave me the oppertunity to use different patterns and material.
