I have a tall bulletin board in my studio that's 3/4s full of my inked pages for my cartoon book, and it's continuing to grow. It's a great way to view your hard work, and pick out the problems. A long time ago Alfredo Alcala told me that he slept next to whatever painting he was working on that night so it was the first thing he looked at when he awoke. I guess you could say Art was his woman. ha ha.

It's very cool that you've had this kernel of an idea brewing for a few years and that you're making it come to fruition. I give you a lot of credit writing and writing and honing your story as I have such an admiration for writers. It's something that I find so difficult myself. It's very cool that you're working on those thumbs and seeing how the book layout will flow overall. Have you checked out this wonderful book: http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Pictures-Write-Illustrate-Childrens/dp/0823059359/ref=la_B001H6U2TU_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362164090&sr=1-1 It truly has been a great resource regarding page turns, flow of a book, use of composition, etc. I'm so weak at most of a book layout that I keep poring over it. <br /><br />Many thanks for your wonderful visits..it is encouraging to me to have support in this community and it means a lot. I am plugging along at our little book project but I do have to admit, I am fearful of re-writing..but that's up on the plate next. Wish me luck! : ) Happy March to you and I'll be back!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703768956294366254noreply@blogger.com
