Ok, it’s not just a matter of days…

Haha. If you read below post I was too confident that it’ll take me only days to complete the last bigbook. Truth is, I have to make way for amendments for previous bigbooks done as well. The writer, Alia Nina or Cikgu Nani as most of us call her, wants me to change/add quite a number of pages for bigbook number 4. I must admit that the illustrations I did were not so detailed. I was in hurry. I truly appreciate her comments and ideas given. Being an expert in children’s learning tools, she really has great points. I have so many things to learn from her and hope to be able to learn more.

Here’s one of the amendments I did:

Before: The lighting was too soft to represent a scary situation. And in kitchen, you actually see more than a refrigerator. I so agree! What was I thinking?

After: I made the lighting a bit dramatic and added more kitchen utensils. Changed the clothing as requested. I had the boy wearing the same pajama throughout the whole story. Haha. But funny thing is, I still feel that something is missing. Do you?

Sorry about the big watermark. I learned my lesson well last time and did not want things to happen twice. Once bitten, twice shy.

    Not sure what the story is , but if he is coming into the kitchen for some water , may be a glass of water in his hand . And the eyes gives a thoughtful look as opposed to scary look.

    It’s difficult to give opinion without knowing the story line. Just giving a general suggestion based on my perception : ).

    Eagerly waiting for the prints : ).
