Commissioned by one of my fathers coworkers, I had a fantastic opportunity to illustrate a short children's book that was meant to teach kids not to fear firefighters while they are wearing their full turnout gear. The fireman was modeled after my father (who has been a firefighter my entire life).
The majority of the illustrations were done with colored pencil and watercolor. The minimal background in pages were done digitally, with the intention of bringing the focus to the characters and their actions/reactions, while hinting at the interior of a firehouse.
