2D Children's book : "Who is hiding from Cocheta?"

*Writing and illustrating children's book is about more than simply adding pictures to text*

When making this book, i simply illustrate with pencil 2b and watercolour paper art 260gr. Colouring start with acrylic paints then finish it with Calligraphic pen for the lining. Almost 11 days i coloured all the sketches and simply scan them in High resolution. I printed in art cardboard 260 gr and created the book using cardboard based.

Here is the pics before :
