EPICURIOUSITY
8 x 10 Graphite
By Katherine Thomas
I don't know who actually said that, or if it's even a quote, but that's my mantra and I'm sticking to it!
The story of the two adventurers is coming together, little by little. I learned how to make a storyboard, and I've got everything planned out according to the guidelines for children's books guidelines I've been reading.
The storyboard is like a checklist for me as I go along. It helps me to see how far I've come and how far I have left to go, and reminds me that I'm moving forward, however slowly.
My fear is that I'll get tired of these two before I finish all the illustrations. I might have to take a few breaks and work on other things in between... which will delay the completion of the project. But it's not like I have a deadline anyway!
We'll just keep plugging away at it. It's the process of creating a children's book that I've always wanted to experience... and I'm doing just that, enjoying the process, rather than focusing on the finish line... (which is so far ahead that I can't even see it, anyway!)
