Storybook Time: The Girl Who Was Alone - INSPIRATIONS

Yay! Quite possibly the moment most people who took this class are waiting for. My group eventually opted to do a storybook, although we played around with the idea of a comic for awhile. We were quite inspired by number of beloved children's storybooks including Roald Dahl (like, everything he has made... EVERYTHING!), The Giving Tree and The Missing Piece series by Shel Silverstein, and Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss.

Here are some preliminary sketches:






The Storyline: Ours is basically a coming-of-age tale wherein a girl journeys to find happiness and friendship and discovers that it's only possible if she stays true to herself.

The Audience: School children (Primary & Secondary School) aged 6 to 9 years old

Treatment: We wanted to go with a hand-drawn look so we'll probably minimize the treatment and correction that we render on our images.

Inspirations:
1. Roald Dahl:




2. Shel Silverstein:



3. Dr. Seuss


Will post more when the book comes!
