This is my first experiment with colouring in the first scene of the book. I sketched the tree out first along with the background, and then scanned it into Photoshop and edited it with my tablet on there. I tried to copy Quentin Blake’s style of using a softer shade of colour and working in quick strokes to make it seem more realistic but I’m not entirely sure that it has worked. I think what I will have to do is go over the pencil lines on Photoshop with the pen tool to make sure they stand out more, and then colour the work in. I also think I need to maybe work a bit more steadily because the colours have blended too much and at this point it just looks too messy.
