Illustrations Scenes

My illustrator sent me her scene ideas that she plans on drawing for the book. If I like the ideas, then that is what she will go with. If I don't, I can make suggestions to change them. Turns out I liked her ideas, so we won't have any changes. Once I ok the scene ideas, she gets to make it the way she wants. So I am saying lots of prayers that she will have great drawings to go with her ideas. This is the part that I wish I could ok every single drawing. But they won't do that. I think they will email a few of the finished scenes just so I can see how it is going. I don't think I can change anything once they are drawn. I guess I will find that part out when I hear back from her again.

Two weeks ago I received a call from my illustrator! We discussed page size, paper type, colors and my main characters. She worked on the sketches and sent me two today in my email. I loved them. They were so good. I think the students will love them. When she said she would be sending sketches, I pictured pencil ones. These were in color so I could really picture what they will turn out to look like. I'm getting excited. I can't wait to see how the pages turn out with all the background colors and settings in it.
