Step 2: World Building
Step 2: World Building
Before we start any work drawing our story we need to set the tone. This is important as this helps us break our characters and settings down into recognisable shapes for use throughout the story.
This involves a fair amount of research - it may seem surprising to some of you but I have rarely drawn talking monkey statuettes or ornate, lead dolphins before!
There are some great, rich characters in the story so it is important to do them justice! For each character, I’ve worked on a series of sketches to try and get the character’s personality down to simple lines!
Next week we will be taking you through Step 3: Pencils

After the book comes out, maybe Cole could turn tweets like yours into a graphic novel too...

Zachary aged 3, Theo aged 6 and Judy aged 75 are intrigued by this process and look forward very much to what is to come. Thank you for letting us be ‘involved’. That means much.

As an artist, I didn't progress beyond stick men ;-) Your updates are therefore fascinating and gobsmacking. Thank you for sharing.
