From rough pencil sketches to final colour .
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the illustration process for ‘My Bossy Brain’ written by the lovely Kristy Ambrose. This children’s book is designed to help kids and their parents to better understand and cope with OCD in a gentle, supportive way.
I always love sharing how an illustration evolves from loose concepts and messy brainstorming into a finished artwork full of colour, character and emotion. Seeing the journey side by side reminds me how much storytelling happens long before the final page.
I’ve loved working on this project and I’m excited to keep bringing these important conversations to life through illustration.
More to come soon!
