This blog is to keep Gwen and other interested parties up to speed with my progress on this children's book.

Here is page six almost complete. The text space is considered above. Signage will be my next phase. I had a lot of fun with the background passengers and foreground surf dude. I went through tons of images of airport passengers. When I found what I needed I did some redrawing, trimming and some filtering.

page 6 scolded at the baggage claim
Page 6 is well under way before 5, 4, and 3. Sometimes I skip around. Not far. It's all airport setting. I have dropped in some color and will have to line those background colors with page two airport gate. I drew a luggage carousel and used vanishing point filter for the floor and ceiling tiles. The ceiling will probably faded out under text. You can probably make out some text floating around. Those are some Norwegian translations I found for lavatory, resteraunt, car rental, customs, visitor center. Haven't decided where or if I will use them, but I have them for just in case. I still have to draw the crowd behind them and perhaps some monitors and vending machines.

page three to six sketches
On page 3 the boys spot Peder holding drinks. I decided to go with plastic bottles because he could hold four drinks in a welcoming way by their tops. I will draw the rest of the airport terminal in illustrator. (vending machines, phones, bathrooms, other travelers, and various signs.) Also included in the frame is page 5 showing one of the boys complaining about how long the luggage is taking to come out.
Next is a screen shot of page 4 with some color dropped in on the characters. They are really thirsty. There will be some great background onlookers included later. I have a lot of plans for this page with some effects on the bottle movement from Peder's hands to the boys
