| Characters is the home of South Australian Illustrator, Mandy Foot. So named as this is what she enjoys most - capturing the character of her subject, whether it be a realistic pet portrait or stampeding farm animals in a children's book - it's all about the character! "I am very excited to announce the release of my first major children's book 'The Wheels on the Bus'. Published by Hachette Australia and available in all good book stores from 9 October 2009, it also has it's very own website www.wheelsonthebus.com.au where there will be an online board game, colouring templates, and lots more!
To
see more of the finished artwork from the book, initial sketches, and
to find out more about what goes into creating a book like this, just
visit the new Children's Book section in the Illustration Gallery of the site. Can you guess how
many hours it took to illustrate this book? Hope you enjoy' - Mandy. |
