Start to finish

People have asked me what it entails to create illustrations for a book. Every artist has his/her own way of working, and with different media comes another way of preparation and handling of the tools. Below are 3 images from one illustration of the book as a fast look into my work in progress. I started with a rough sketch, then to the final drawing to adding color (washes of watercolor). If you have any questions on the book or you are interested in school, library, etc, speaking engagements, please feel free to contact me directly at garybernard@verizon.net.
