Concepts

Freddie and the Fairy concepts, based on Julia Donaldson's text.

This is a layout drawing I did to get a feel of how I'm going to do a double page spread. I already see a fatal error.:P Stuff shouldn't be down the middle.

Fantastic! The main character's sort of a cross between the style of Horrid Henry and Calvin and Hobbes but original in its own right.

The fairy looks a bit pantomimeish, which probably isn't a bad thing, but I can't help but thinking it's a hairy-chested bloke in drag every time I look at the fourth drawing. Maybe you could make it slightly more lady-like and either smaller or taller in comparison to Freddie.

Hope you get the gig. If you do, I'm sure you'll be sneaking in the odd toucan or beetle!
