The project

USI illustrated My Grandpa is a VIP for Linda Wiener. The project started from the author's text outline, followed by 28 sketches and 29 final illustrations.

Style

Detailed 2D with rich interiors.

Process

  1. Manuscript and text outline (a "REVISED ORDER" version exists)
  2. Sketches
  3. Color
  4. Cover and interior layout

Every page was drawn by hand. The author approved the full storyboard before final art, and revisions were unlimited from sketch to final color.

Revisions : The text outline was revised once ("REVISED ORDER" file).

Result
