My Coconut Trees
"Hover" or "Click" an image to see my work process.
Step 1
First sketches are made of family members for the story.
Step 2
Additional sketches are then made to illustrate different segments of the story. Here is a drawing of a cupboard filled with coconut products.
Step 3
Once my drawings are approved, I then move on to adding the colour to all of them.
Step 4
I add colour to more of the scenes featured in the book.
Step 5
A sketch has been coloured in to show the family before dinner on their holiday. Attention to detail is added with the sunset atmosphere, foliage and clouds in the background.
Step 6
A farewell scene with the main character and wife. The children are waiting in the car. All images are done.
Step 7
The final book cover is created with titles and credits.
