Thank you Rrixo 666 I worked over a year on the drawings an another year on the book outlines. It is fun to compose childrens' books.

Very good, they show originality, technique and likeness. are they this size or all individual drawings if so what size are they. The overall idea for a children book is is a good one. If they are individual drawings, I would put them on the site to sercure copyrright. :) :thumbup: :clap: :clap:

They are 11X14 on smooth bristol. The book contains a one page summary of each president's life and administration. It was quite a job but I loved doing it. I got to reference a lot of material and learned the process of making a book. I also laminated each page and designed the cover etc. This is actually the cover to the book. I did it in Photo shop 2. I used create a photo merge and it took quite a bit of time to do that since I am new to the computer and was not reducing the sizes of the originals. Now I know how to use files better but still want to learn more about doing art on the computer. Next step is digital art. Not sure if I will like it but it is a challange and I love challanges. Say I can't do it and I'll prove that it can be done!!!!

I personally like a brush and paint but I have used the computer to save a painting when their to dark or light. Well done on the book and the drawings are excellent. I you put them on the site they are covered singly by copyright. :) :thumbup:
