I think I may cut down on the images i need and have it be a little more text based. I am not sure how it will all come out.
My biggest illustration issue right now is how detailed do I want my images to be. Part of me wants to try to have them rendered well and another part of me likes the scratchy, rough, minimalistic version. Sometimes I think that you get more energy in the scratchy, fast sketches than you do in the final polished renders. I find that you can lose the spirit of the drawing when it is over worked.
I like the idea of creating an impression of a scene and letting the viewer fill in the details with their own imagination. It allows the story to be more personal and individualized by the reader. If you put in every detail than then story can be too concrete.
