These are some tests I did yesterday night to experiment with the style of the rendering. Ideally I would have loved to be able to do all the art in watercolour to get some really great bleeds between colours and all the other happy accidents that occur with traditional media unfortunately paint and paper cost money and I just don't have enough to spend on the hundreds of sheets that it would cost to finish the book. And that's not even considering screw- ups and transporting it back home and the "finished" pieces that I end up not being satisfied with. Therefore, I turn to digital and it's endless supply of paint, brushes and canvases.

The first one I don't mind, it just took too long to finish. The second I like the drawing but it took too long to finish as well. The last is exactly the style I'd like all the work to be in and it took the least amount of time of all three. I'm going to work up some full figure shots and back grounds as well and see if I can use a similar method to finish those.
