This is one of the next pages of my book. Again, I sketched the idea out, scanned it into Photoshop and then edited it that way. This is supposed to be the mouse’s house (who I have named Meep) inside the tree, which was shown earlier. I tried to make the inside of the house look boring and not exactly appealing to live in, because Meep’s life is boring as it is dominated by his anxiety. Therefore I used dull colours and made the house look small and curved inwards to demonstrate his feelings of being trapped inside.

I also used these colours to remind the audience that the mouse does in fact live inside the tree. I included a television as a funny reminder that Meep does err on the side of humanity. I also thought it might be quite boring for him if he literally had nothing to do inside!

Again, I tried to copy Quentin Blake’s style which I think I achieved better than the previous post. I’m not sure if I should keep the white canvas underneath or if I should cover that, but I will address that situation later.
