A few more contributions for #LovelyLandscapes, all from my @delilahdirk series of graphic novels.
Seems like a great time to double down on #LovelyLandscapes
(Hi, I make comics and work in animation. My first job was drawing animation BG layouts… in pencil!)
This is a hashtag I can get behind.
I’m in it for the landscape.

Another before & after from SLEEPY: I still like the looseness from the Look Test, but here the staid, regular composition of the final feels more “restful” to me, and so is more appropriate.

Here is that early "look test" compared to the version in the book. A major problem was: the looseness of the "look test" didn't work well on the seek-and-find pages, even though I like it here, so everything got tightened up a little.

At one point, Sleepy was a guide through a dream world, like this donut land (seeded by the cats' time in the kitchen).
Later, I dumped the "dream world" idea for the sake of elegance BUT! retained some of its qualities by just making the cats' world weirder. Kid logic!
Early on, the reader might be able to find hidden socks and hats on every page (because Sleepy (that's the mouse) takes them and hides them).
They are not especially well-hidden, but I guess I didn't know how well you're supposed to hide things in seek-and-hide books.
Before I tried out those look tests for LET'S GET SLEEPY, I did a few pages using the more-or-less usual approach.
(Fav part is those three heads on the right edge, looking at the bird feeder.)
A "morning" look test for LET'S GET SLEEPY!
