Mr Sleepyhead - Character painting

Mr Sleepyhead inked
Rendering with inked outlines

The decision visually was to not have any outlines for the character, and of his background. My reasoning behind this is to create a softer look.

This has been a complete shift for me artistically, as much of my art work is outlined in ink.


For this book, I really want the story to feel welcoming, warm and cosy. 

The idea behind the book is about a bear going to a place of comfort and rest, his bed. And of the routines to slow down, close your eyes, and sleep.

 

Hopefully I have captured that cosy-welcoming feeling in these below images.

As always, thank you for visiting. I hope to post up soon the completed painting of Mr Sleepyhead, the bear.
