Ever wondered how children's books illustrations come to be? well painstakingly is the full answer. Each element is a separate layer/ or separate illustration in this case. The total image is scanned then tweaked in Photo shop and pulled together as demonstrated below. Lots of fun but takes a long time. These original illustrations are 40 x 25 inches each. the painting of the individual elements shown in these samples has taken 2 weeks to create and 3 days in photo shop. So when your artist tells you a high quote please don't screw your face up and complain about the bill. It takes alot of time and effort.
