I use layout paper Nancy: it...Thanks everyone. <br /><br />I use layout paper Nancy: it's less transluscent than tracing paper, so things get less visually confusing.<br /><br />Re sizes: everyone works at a different scale, depending on their medium. It's usually the same size as the printed book, or anything up to about 130%. <br /><br />Re dimensions: these vary, so you shouldn't really do the finished artwork until you have a publisher. They all have slightly different shapes and sizes, so you will end up doing it all again. I would just do one sample spread in colour and few colour character studies and keep the rest as roughs, which is far more flexible. They are bound to want lots of changes anyway.<br /><br />Good luck!Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-64321476265136015972013-09-15T14:33:11.136+01:002013-09-15T14:33:11.136+01:00Love your work!

I'm writing and illustrating my first book, but I don't have any idea how large or small to make my finished work.
