"Ben's Flying Flowers" a picture book for Magination Press
This picture book written by Inger Maier and published by Magination Press is the first book I illustrated in my ink style with digital coloring. The ink line work is all traditionally done and after scanning the illustrations in I colored and textured the spreads digitally. The story is rather sad and a very serious topic, as it tells about Emily, who loses her little brother. She has to learn to cope with her feelings.
The illustrations had to pay the story justice, which is why the art director preferred to go with a more delicate style of art work. If you want to find out more about the project, please sop by my blog http://www.mariabogade.blogspot.de/2012/05/making-of-bens-flying-flowers-and.html .
