Hi, I´m trully interested, cose I do love dinosaurs, and as far as I can see on your contest, this could be a great chance to work on a funny and cutes dinosaurs little characters.
Honestly, it will be a good help to have a little more details regarding the project, like how many illustrations you need, the target age audience, etc.
So, at the momment, I do want to let you know how I ussually work on children´s book´s projects:
STAGE #A - THUMBNAILS. Initial rough sketchs regarding each character and also the first approach to each scene in the book. This is fo checking to see if the images are telling the story in the right way.
STAGE #2 - PENCIL SKETCHS. Once THUMBNAILS are approved, the pencil sketchs is the more close stage to the final drawings. This is the stage in where any change could be maked, without whaste time.
STAGE #3 - FINAL ARTWORK. This is, obviouslly, the final stage in the project, in wich the final files are delivered.
They are no loimit in the number of revissions in each stage.
So, please take a look to my portfolio to see a few samples regarding my work.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks a lot for your time and bests regards.
Eduardo.
