Smolstiel was a patient and totally cool author to work with, and her story is a most excellent one, so don't hesitate to run over and read it right now! Link here or click on the banner
As usual, without any excuse other than being disorganised, I didn't do as much art as I'd wanted. Plus I was a little obsessed with Boy King Sam...
Here's the final combined piece, and you'll see where the banner came from.
This art is made up of two separate paintings.
First came Boy King Sam with his gold leaf eyes.
Followed by older, worried Sam, also watercolour and gold leaf.
You may notice a lot of white space on Sammy's right - and yes, I had intended to do another Boy King Sam but ran out of time. Also, I'd already done an earlier one, so I thought this might be getting a tad silly - I could keep trying different verisons and never be satisfied!
This is my first Boy King Sam - for some reason much redder. And kind of weird.
This one was watercolour pencils rather than just watercolour.
I liked some bits of this one but wanted to do better. Instead I think I just did different.
