Character Continuity in children's book illustration!

The original sketch for the illustration above.

Almost two years has passed since I illustrated Ronald Tomanio's book"The Imperfect Pilgrim and One Summer, two wonderful stories written with Baha'i Junior Youth in mind. I love the challenge, (as an illustrator of children's books) of creating a visual character that fits the story as well as continuing a consistent look for that character throughout the book. I find it fun to try to figure how a person would look like from different angles!

Original Sketches for Lily in "The Imperfect Pilgrim"!

I took care to make Annie look different from Lily for this story since it was the second story in the same book!
