A Handmade Fairytale

Step 5 Paint the illustrations

For the random doodles I did I start with one color and paint something with it for each page. Then I let it dry and do the other side. Then I move onto another color. When that's finished you want to outline them with the sharpie again. So why draw it with a sharpie in the first place? I am going to outline it again after painting and I want to know if I have the design large enough for the heavy lines. I've tried pencil first but I always seem to make everything so small. I do use a pencil first when doing actual illustrations from the story though. I can't just draw a frog right off the bat the first time, that's too much pressure.

The images attached to this step are from several different stories. You can also see pages drying on my kitchen floor.

Feel free to use my doodles for your own projects. I think I got some of them from Victorian tiles that I mostly forgot.
