I think I have a cold, so I kept it super simple for #colour_collective #CCMunsellBlue. Mainly because sneezing is not conducive to drawing 💜

A limited palette kidlitart children’s book illustration in digital ink linework and solid blue colour of a small girl in a blue pinafore dancing away from the viewer along with a small black bird that is flying around her.

Dancing with Wings! I’m actually drawn to the simplicity.

Thank you, Lorraine! I too like simplicity, but I did have plans to do a whole full-colour vignette, and ended up not being bothered 😅

I get it. Sometimes my text is more sparse than originally intended and when I finally get back to flesh it out… new eyes think nuff said! It gives the reader’s eyes/mind more freedom to fill in the blank spaces with their own completions, making it more relatable to them. #KidLit

Absolutely! And I spent yesterday drawing a ball pit so I think my eyes were due some zen!
