I decided to play with the watercolour & graphite illustration technique a little more, as I felt it had possibilities, but last time it ended up more cartoon than 'picture book'. I created this little character, who I think I'll call Milly. She is taking her new friend home from the pet shop:
I much prefer this to the hierarchy illustration. The paint work is more understated and delicate, and I am already rather fond of little Milly.

Ohhh yes Lynne, I love this! I agree is delicate, gentle and feesl very spontaneous and fresh.
Little Milly is adorable :o)
Yeah Lynne - she's adorable! Perfect for a 'Milly' series!
How sweet! Yes, I too like the organic feel of the watercolor in this one. Very nice!
I like both illustrations so much.
This is great Lynne - it's really interesting seeing these diferent styles your trying.
As a writer I love seeing characters like this - there's nothing like it for generating story ideas.
Thank you everyone!
Damian - if you were to write about Milly, you could attach the character sketch to the MS... you never know...
I like this. :)
