"Follow That Crow!" - A Picture Book

Prakash’s toy monkey, Moki, is taken from him by a crow. How far can Prakash go to rescue his only friend in the world?
 
"Follow That Crow!" is a storybook I made in the Storybook Lab at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology. Our aim was to re-evaluate stereotypical notions of creating content for children who go to government and budget-private schools, and to design a collection of well-crafted storybooks that made the experience of reading enjoyable and meaningful.
The illustrations are pencil drawings which were scanned and then digitally colored.
 
I wanted to tell this story not just because the kind of images it filled my head with had to be visualized but also because I wanted to tell children a story about loss.
 
Some of my concept art, character designs, experiments, et al.:
"It's beautiful! Lovely story, and it looks great. Congratulations."
