Happy New Year! Next Project: My Childrens Book!
Hi! In case you don't know, I'm going to be illustrating a little children's book based on a short story I wrote in Japanese that I got corrected by a Japanese speaker.
Something else you might not know, is that there will be multiple editions of the book, so you should only purchase the one you think you’d like, as the text is going to be the same. There will be 3 versions of this book, Coloring book, Normal picture-book (with grammar explanations in the back i think), and an Activity book (mazes, word searches, etc). (all books will be in the 8.5X8.5 format if your curious)
The first one I will be making is the coloring book edition. (google-slides doesn’t have bouble text, so the text looks like this right now)
For this book, the text and the image will be on the same side of the page (with the left page being blank). This is because based on my understanding people who color in books perfer to work only on one side because of bleed issues.
Questions!
I have never really been much of a color-iner. I really only ever colored in pages when i was bored and sitting in restaurants as a kid, so I’m not an expert on the things people enjoy to color in, so I would love it if anyone who enjoys coloring books, to please message me and give me advice! I’ll share my ‘wips’ (similar to the image above, but larger image sized) in return for advise on them!For example, should I keep the background empty for a more cleaner look, or should I have some kind of geometric pattern behind to color-in? should I make a circle for the floor? a splat? a straight line?
