Kolby and the Witch of Darkharrow - A chapter book Illustration project.
This fantasy adventure for early readers follows the story of Kolby as he struggles to reverse the curse that turned his whole village into salamanders. This story is cute, fun and action packed. Full of found friends and bone chilling enemies.
For this story I was commission to create chapter art for the entire book. It was a great exploration of different scenes, characters and tones and was a joy to work on. I was given stylistic free reign to design the everything in consultation with my client and the final result was excellent.

Below you can see how my I went from my initial artwork to this crazy dynamic and complex scene. Inspired by classic fantasy and styles towards 7-13 age bracket I had a huge amount of fun creating this artwork in collaboration with the author.
Here are some of my favourite pieces from within the rest of the book. Each one initially drawn with pencil then taken to Photoshop and loving illustrated and coloured digitally.
