#PBDummy Challenge - Step 6: Produce final art of two spreads

A part of me is relieved that step five is done, but I don't know why because I didn't finish it!  Thanks to those of you who checked in over the last couple weeks, it's been fun to hear about your progress. It sounds like the majority of us are pressing on in spite of life's distractions which held us up a bit.

We are getting close to the end of the challenge. And this step should be a fun one. Even for those of us who haven't finished rendering tight, full-sized sketches, no doubt we have enough of our sketches complete that we can produce the final art for two of our pages.  Let's try and see if in the next four weeks we can do it.

This will be tricky for me as a week from tomorrow we start a bit of a house renovation. I have had to pack up my computer and my desk and will have to complete step 6 from my bed, possibly using only my ipad...but I've seen professionals do completed work on their ipads (via YouTube), so I should be able to too. It will be a fun experiment.

For a little inspiration, please check out last year's entry on the kidlitart blog post for step 6.

And great news! As I referenced the kidlitart blog tonight I discovered that the weekly tweet chat is back!!  Apparently they started mid-April with three new moderators. So please, if you are free tune into their live Twitter chat Thursdays at 9:00 pm Eastern. This tweet chat caters to children's book illustrators, picture book authors and author/illustrators.




In case you are not familiar with how to participate in a tweet chat, please refer to this post.

And for one last bit of inspiration, if you are a fan of Lynne Chapman, you may like to read about the progression she recorded on her blog as she created 'Baby Can Bounce' here.
