I have to say I'm most happy with how the little Sprinklers turned out. I think that they have a nice muppet/minion feel with a design that's original and very "me".
With the Sprinkle Fairy, there is now a nice balance of her age and her wacky and fun personality.
Draft Eight: The Final Draft - After many hours of back and fourth, emails, phone calls and lots of sketching, this is how the characters in the book ended up. They are very similar to the characters in draft 7 but with a nice clean finish and a coat of polish.
The Sprinkle Fairy's outfits received some positive feedback but they wanted to push it a little further. They said to picture her as a wacky aunt. I think I captured it nicely.
Draft Seven - We were almost there on most of the characters but there was still some editing to do. Chris and Crat just recieved very small color tweaks.
Draft Six - At this point we were getting really close, but still not quite there. They wanted Chris to be a bit smaller, more kid-sized. He was a little too long in the last ideation.
For the Sprinkle Fairy, I tried to make her older by adding grey hair and some lines around her mouth.
So excited to finally be able to share this. Ogilvy is coming May 21, 2019! Written by New York Times-bestselling author Deborah Underwood, illustrated by me, from the wonderful Godwin Books. #coverreveal #ogilvy 🐰👕👚
