I am really excited to show you guys a project I've been working on all semester! For my fairytales class, I chose a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale to illustrate. I ended up rewriting it, too, to some extent, because I wanted slightly more modern ideals. I did it in watercolor and gouache, and these spreads are 11x17, making the book 8.5x11. It's 32 pages in all! I'm so proud of how it turned out, and if you're interested, I'll try and figure out how to post something you can read through!
This is gorgeous Rachel, you have an amazing talent :)
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks!
DeleteWow, your illustrations on gorgeous! That's a huge project and an awesome accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThankyou! That means a lot coming from an illustrator I admire!
DeleteRachel, this is SO beautiful, I'm completely amazed! I love the way you illustrate, it looks so dreamy and kind of quirky. I'd love to see more :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm trying to figure out how to post a readable version.
DeleteOh, wow-I so admire those who can illustrate like this-these images are stunning! I feel like they're so dreamy and they definitely make me want to read the story! If I ever get a children's book published someday (one of my bucket list items, haha) I want you to illustrate it!
ReplyDeleteYou have got a deal!
DeleteOh my gosh Rachel, this is amazing! I'm so impressed, you're insanely talented! Is illustrating children's books something you want to do as a career? Also, this sounds like the coolest class. Please share more of your work!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get into either children's illustration, book illustration, or fashion illustration. But they're all super competitive so I'll probably do whatever anyone will pay me for haha. Thankyou!
DeleteWow, these illustrations are really amazing! I would really like to see the whole thing! Do you sell prints of these?
