So I have been working on illustrating my children’s book and I am INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED. I drew the main character and loved her. She was a sweet curly headed irish girl much like someone I know. She charmed me right off and I was full of energy to move to the next illustration. Unfortunately the next one involved drawing a scene with several children in it and I just can’t seem to get it how I like. Thats when I really began examining the book and most of the scenes involve a large number of children. Ugh! Now all I can think is how each page will give me this frustration.

I had another story in the works that only involves a couple children and then mostly animals and creatures. The writing is not completed however so it seems a waste to work on it before I finish the book about Maggie McGee. The problem is I want to throw the Maggie story accross the room. I will take a break for tonight and maybe do some cleaning in the morning before I try again. I just needed to vent, thanks for lending the ear.

FYI, I posted some new work, the fox and the chick being 2 of my favorites.
