Coco and the Cookie Competition
I created this mock children's book for my Children's Book Illustration class in my junior year at Ringling. Below are a few of my favorite pieces from the class — a final jacket, end pages, the half-title page, a few rendered interiors, and some of my favorite line drawings.
I started every page in gouache on bristol board and then scanned in my paintings to finish them off digitally. I even treated some of the spreads like scrapbook pages, scanning in various gouache textures and clippings in my sketchbook and collaging them digitally.
