The book story part 1





Hello all, I know I have been gone for a while as I worked to do some social networking and here I am after it worked! I am starting work on A children's book that will remain unnamed for now. However I will begin to post my work in progress and hopefully you can learn from my mishaps. I will be frank and candid in my posts so I hope you can get something from the comments made. I am working on setting up the characters asked to be in the children's book and I will begin with the first 4 and the process involved with the first 4 and I hope you enjoy the posts. I will also so some pictures of my studio and my work space as well. Thank you for stopping by and thanks for the read.Your far off friend!Kevin AndersonA.K.A. "KEV." or "-&-"

Here are the clean lines for some of the characters in the book.


Inks of 4 of the character I am doing in the book.
Here is the piece I will be posting, this is step 1 in color using Adobe PS
Here is a shot of my little library, check out the Zorro pict on the right shelf done by Eric Merced. Eric is an AwEsOmE artist the you can find all over the web.
Here is a picture of my art desk mid-project, I love the glass table top. It's a great Light table!
My usual mess and T.V. for distractions I did need!
More chaos, I can never understand how I work in it. I can up and at the start of each step it gets to this every time. :0)

Here is the next stage of computer colors in PhotoShop.

I only work on the computer pieces while the watercolor is drying. I hope to start uploading the traditional work soon.
