As I did this project I really became aware of just how hard it is to carry characters (expressions, positions, activities & personalities through a multi spread book. For example the spread no. 2 style of drawing & treatment (painting with gouache & ink drawing) literally felt like it would kill me to create 10-16 maybe more of these spreads - it's much harder than it seems/looks. <br /><br />Doug's least favourite is the one I chose No. 1 (natch) we barely ever agree on my creative choices - he's a history professor (former) and structural genius but design art critic - ?!? ;-) thanks for the commentsSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-9109877317574404412013-06-24T13:44:43.446-03:002013-06-24T13:44:43.446-03:00love them all, truly.
