Brilliant News - A Children's Illustrator is Helping Us

I've got some great news - a children's illustrator is going to help us with our monster book. Her name is Katie W. Stewart and she lives in Australia. I know Katie well because she illustrates my Smelly Troll books.

In a few weeks time, Katie will be offering tips on how to draw illustrations and create a cover for our book. However, this week, she is kindly sketching some of our monster species, to help us visualise them as we create our baddie characters.

Here's her sketch of a lumipoo momp:

I mentioned sketches before. They are quick drawings that can be used to help us create characters.

If you're wondering what Katie's book illustrations are like, here are some examples:

Above: Figure skating trolls in black and white. This type of illustration goes inside a book.

Above: Trolls sledging, in colour. This type of illustration goes on the cover of a book.

Impressive stuff, yarb?
