I started this image a few days ago and it just kept nagging at me until I had to get up at 4:00 this morning and continue some work on it. It is only in the beginning stages, but I will share a bit here.
This is the original sketch cleaned up a bit in Painter IX.
I decided to add a bookshelf and library ladder.
This is just the first layer of the beginning color. Another layer will add texture and tone. And it will go on from there until I think I have a finished illustration. I plan to use this and others in a similar series to tell a wordless story.

Ginger these are beautiful! You are just getting better and better! Very nicely done! Are you sketching in painter?
Sherry I still sketch in my sketch book. That's because I can carry it wherever I go. Then I can scan and manipulate in Painter.
Me too Ginger. I can't get the hang of sketching digitally. I can touch up. . .but not start there.
This is truly wonderful! It has such a dynamic perspective! So creative and fun! Kids are gonna love this!
Ginger,
This is such fun. Seeing the progress is the best part!
Ginger what a great idea- have you ever checked into doing the posters for library reading programs- that is what this reminds me of!
