(Click for larger view.) Style change. For a story-within-a-story in the book, I’m changing styles, going to a looser, more cartoony style, which sort of fits tonally with the subject matter in the story. The other day on the subway I designed the characters in that style, and I share them with you here. It’s lots of fun to draw in this looser more devil-may-care style, and is relatively quick. Not sure why I’ve not tried this before. Feels nice. Very nice…

Oh! I shall have to have a look. Sounds interesting. And yes, the graphic form is such a rich narrative form… It is fun to engage in conversations about it with children as it potentially opens up so much about vision, mind, pov, memory, etc. It is stunning to me that as a society we went through (and haven’t fully emerged from) a period where we decided that adults should only read prose, and the rest was for children or the Sunday funnies or the equivalent.

It’s funny. Corinna really likes Curious George, which has lovely styles. George’s POV has a similar simplified style (e.g. when he’s thinking or dreaming). One time we had this VERY long conversation after she asked why George’s picture of himself does not look exactly like…himself. It was neat to think about it from a 3 year old’s perspective.
Moh – got it! Still… good question….!
I’m kidding!!
No no… I’ve planned in different styles from the start… and this style fits the story I want to tell with this story (this one is sort of a child’s pov…)
Start over? :p
