That's why I hate if when publishers occasionally ask for the first half to be going on with.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like the sketches. It's nice to finally find a home for them - they usually just sit unloved in closed books on my shelf for year after year.

I can't believe the level of detail you get in that time. Do certain spreads ever 'plague' you afterward, or do you just get on with the next one?<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've really established a proper idea of how long it takes me to do things yet as my style is still evolving. I think I'm currently working to that worrying catchment zone of 'how long do I have?' Must remedy that.<BR/><BR/>Am loving all your sketchbook work. I may take a proverbial and literal leaf out of your book, as I'm having trouble finding stuff I can actually put on my blog.cassiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161982756125056441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-22602037891249165912008-10-24T12:41:00.000+01:002008-10-24T12:41:00.000+01:00Thanks - I really enjoyed doing it and I'm rather ...Thanks - I really enjoyed doing it and I'm rather excited about reading it in schools.<BR/><BR/>Hopeful that it'll go down well with boys in particular.<BR/><BR/>I met Tony Mitton briefly at the CWIG conference, but as usual we've had no contact during the project.

That seems to work out most times. <BR/><BR/>It's about a day to design a spread and another day and a half to colour it (2 or oaccsionally even 2.5 days if it's really complicated).<BR/><BR/>How long do you take?Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-52708697632805413262008-10-23T18:56:00.000+01:002008-10-23T18:56:00.000+01:00do you ever sleep???????? they all look gorgeous. ...do you ever sleep???????? they all look gorgeous. Will be great to see the finished books.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering how long you normally took to do an illustration on average and how long for a regular 32 page all in all?cassiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161982756125056441noreply@blogger.com
