METHODS - Step by Step
Value Study and Page Layout
This is a "rough" page layout, showing the illustration fitting into a double-page spread format for the Nursery Rhyme book. As you can see, I have used the final drawing from the figurine, but now it has been cropped to fit the space allocated for the illustration.
The layout shows the intended position of the rhyme, gutter (center of the spread), borders, and the outer lines indicating the page trim. (This early indication of the type treatment and layout was redesigned by Mr. Bjorn Akselsen in the final production of the book.)
At this stage, I have also added shading in the background of the illustration, which completes the value study. This becomes very important information which helps me determine the tonal values prior to painting.
