Counting Sheep: One




I spose this is like a preview to my children's book XD
Our current project is to write and illustrate a children's book, aimed at 3-7 age.  My story - so far untitled - is about an insomniac boy who counts sheep, literally, in the field outside his house, and begins to hallucinate sheep in his tiredness. 
These are going to be the end pages, when they're inked and coloured (and hopefully made to look more fluffy ><).  That being the patterned inner-cover pages. Rosie and me have been in the living room, cocooned in animal print blankets (zebra for me, leopard for Rosie) watching X-Men films, then listening to music (and Dave gaming at the table) and drawing for hours.  Feel all productive and happy...I will miss my housemates so much after university.
Of course there's still a way to go yet. So since my camera is out of battery and the scanners are a trek away at the library, here are just a few low-quality webcam shots of the rough work. Could that sound any more half-assed?  Mehhhh, too comfy, moar superheroes now.
Oh, and if you have an idea for a book name, please tell me because I have zero inspiration for a title so far.
