After I graduated college in October 2012, I decided to go back to school for 3 months. In that 3 months I took a Children's Book Illustration class. One of the best decisions I have ever made. The class taught me how to story board, character designing, and finally putting a book together. I already learned character designing and storyboarding back at Ex'pression but, we didn't get as detailed as I had hoped.
One of the assignments was to to draw your own Big Bad Wolf from the Three Little Piggies story. I usually start out with drawing a bunch of heads and from there I choose my top 2-3 heads. After the heads comes the drawing of the bodies. I had a hard time with choosing between the hillbilly Wolf and the nerdy Wolf. My classmates and teacher Arden chose for me. They liked how the hillbilly Wolf looked and asked me to continue on with him. The next step for the assignment was COLOR! :D I absolutely love color! I have about 4 different types of watercolors. I used angora water colors for the Wolf and it turned out really cool. I've never used angora. I've always used Newton. Any who, everyone got a kick out the final version of the Big Bad Wolf.
The last image is a sneak peek. I'm putting together a 3 panel story for the Big Bad Wolf. Color will be next once I finish the last panel for this story. I'll post the pencil and final version up later :D.
