Aaaaaand... here's some of the final art from the book!<br />

The next step with the cover was to do a slightly more worked up version based on the feedback from the publisher.

Once we had the thumbs-up from the author and publisher on the sample-spread, the next step in producing the artwork for the Alfredo was to dig into the rest of the pages.<br />
I took my initial colour and shape blocking pass and did a more worked up version of these. I still kept it pretty loose, but I started to refine the rhythm and progression of the colour as well as paying closer attention as to how the text would sit in the layouts.<br />
The most important aspect of the images in this book was to capture Alfredo's physicality and movement, so I attempted to work that into it much more at this stage.<br />
The image above is a 'colour-script' compiled from all the individual roughs (below).<br />

Here is the initial sample spread I produced for the Alfredo book. It was really beneficial to have a chance early on to experiment with ideas for the final look of the book.<br />
Below are some thumbnails sketches, and further rough ideas for the sample spread.<br />

The roughs above are colour thumbnail ideas for the inside page layouts of the book, including scribbled notes on the side. I just wanted to take a quick initial pass at the whole book, blocking out shapes and colors in an attempt to develop some kind of rhythm and flow for the story. I already knew I wanted a mix of very graphic elements and textural finishes, so I wanted to nail the graphic quality first.<br />

I was also asked to work up a 'finished' sample spread from the book. This was to help the publishers visualize how the book would look and to get people excited about it. The two images above are a couple of rough ideas for that sample spread.Chris Garbutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03983318515641636215noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21559994.post-46860134168003520182015-06-04T11:23:00.002-07:002015-06-04T11:25:48.198-07:00IT'S A GROOVY WORLD, ALFREDO!!! - CHARACTER DESIGNS!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are the first character concept design for the book (above). This was the first step in the process after reading the manuscript. I wanted to feel out the character, push him around and start to play with different looks and techniques.</div>
<div>
After some feedback from the author and the people at Walker Books I then refined the character (below) and begun to explore his physicality and movement even further, as that's such an important element of the story.</div>

My first picture book 'It's A Groovy World, Alfredo!' comes out today in the UK! Woo!<br />
Big thanks to Sean Taylor, the awesome people at Walker Books (Ben, Maria and Deirdre) and my fantastic agents Alison, Tamlyn and Caroline for giving me the chance to do this.<br />
I'm over the moon with how it looks and I will have a copy of the book stuffed firmly up my jumper all week!<br />
If you'd like to buy a copy you can get it <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Groovy-World-Alfredo-Sean-Taylor/dp/1406324132/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433399800&sr=8-1&keywords=it%27s+a+groovy+world+alfredo" target="_blank">here</a>... and every day for the next week or so I'll post a step-by-step (kind of) behind the scenes look at the process of how I produced the artwork for the book using both hands and my face.<br />

Apologies for the HUGE gap in posts. I've been super busy (no excuse, I know) and I also changed jobs earlier this year. I'm now working for Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank as a Supervising Producer in their development department. Hopefully I'll be able to share some of the work that's been going on there in the near future, but for now it has to remain under wraps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the meantime here's a bunch of new comic stuff that is part of an awesome new, all-ages, and completely free, online comic called<a href="http://www.moosekidcomics.com/" target="_blank"> Moose Kid Comics</a>, created by UK based comics ninja <a href="http://www.fumboo.com/" target="_blank">Jamie Smart.</a> The comic has a ridiculously exciting cast of great comic artists (including Alan Martin, WJC, Tom Paterson, <a href="http://fattywhale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rikke Asbjoern</a>, Andreas Schuster, Tom Plant, Gary Northfield and many, many more) and a whole host of fantastic new characters! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
PLEASE <a href="http://www.moosekidcomics.com/" target="_blank">check it out </a>and spread the good word!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I worked with Jamie as an editorial consultant on the project and I also have two strips (below) with two brand new characters, Scrambles and Meatskull the Unvincible! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully this will be the first of many issues to come!</div>

Here's a bunch of rough character design/ideas I did to help on a pitch for this years John Lewis Christmas advert. It was a lot of fun experimenting with paint textures and a much more earthy palette.<br />
Needless to say this particular pitch didn't come off, but the one that did is very beautiful!<br />
Well done to everyone involved.<br />
I hope you enjoy this gallery of rejects!!!<br />

Here's a timely little post for Halloween!<br />
For anyone interested in having a little sneak peek at my working process, here's a bunch of behind the scenes sketches and notes produced for the <a href="http://www.storybots.com/storybooks/halloween-friends" target="_blank">'Halloween Friends'</a> digital book I illustrated for <a href="http://www.jibjab.com/" target="_blank">JibJab's</a> line of<a href="http://www.storybots.com/" target="_blank"> Storybots</a> - <a href="http://www.storybots.com/storybooks" target="_blank">'Starring You' </a>books, now available on iTunes and the iPhone App Store.<br />
<br />
After they sent me the text for the book and briefed me, I started off in a similar way to how I approach storyboarding - doing a quick pass at the whole thing in the form of very rough thumbnails (below). These are really for my own reference, not to show the client. I use this stage to just vomit out the ideas as quick as possible and also to get a sense of the pacing and flow of the book, as well as attempting to develop variation in the shapes and shots (close-ups, wide-shots etc) from page to page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Working from the thumbnails, I'll then produce slightly more refined sketches and notes which will then be sent to the client for comments/approval/disapproval etc.<br />

Below are two examples of pages where the action/animation would affect the lighting of the scene, so basically the colours on the background and characters would change. This required me to produce 2 variations of each illustration - like a before and after.<br />
<i>Quick note - This particular series of books allow you to personalise the stories so that the main character will have your child's (or your own) face and name. For the purpose of this post I added glasses and a mouth to the main character wearing the ghost costume instead of leaving it blank or having a random child's face.</i><br />

Below are more sketches from the book. The animation notes were just suggestions and ideas I'd had while sketching. Once I handed over the final art is was then up to the super-talented people at JibJab to work their magic, and infuse it with their own fantastic ideas, giving us the final book as it is now.</div>

This page (below) was a lot of fun to do. The character shifts her shape into lots of silly objects. I adjusted the colours of the BGs to emphasize the transformations.<br />

Once I'd done a first pass at the whole book in sketch form, I then did a rough colour script (below) to give myself and the guys at JibJab a sense of the pacing of the colours throughout the story and how they evolve from one page to the next.<br />

Fresh off the digital presses and onto a tablet near you is <a href="http://www.storybots.com/storybooks/halloween-friends" target="_blank">'Halloween Friends'</a>- a shiny, brand new digital children's book I illustrated for the wonderful folk at <a href="http://www.jibjab.com/" target="_blank">JibJab</a>. This book is part of their <a href="http://www.storybots.com/" target="_blank">Storybots</a>, '<a href="http://www.storybots.com/storybooks" target="_blank">Starring You</a>' series of books. These books allow you to personalise the stories so that the main character will have your child's (or your own) face and name. Fun stuff!<br />
Rush on over there and get yourself a copy in time for Halloween!!!! Also available at the iPhone App Store and iTunes.<br />
<br />
Here's a selection of pages from the book. For the purpose of this post, instead of having a random child's face, I added glasses and a mouth to the main character wearing the ghost costume.<br />

Here's a piece I did for my friends Suzanne and Max's little daughter, Lulu. They're making a wall full of monster paintings in her bedroom, I hope it doesn't give her nightmares! Here are pieces by <a href="http://fattywhale.blogspot.com/2012/12/monster-holiday-photo.html" target="_blank">Rikke Asbjoern</a> and <a href="http://polyminthe.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013.html" target="_blank">Sylvain Marc</a> who also contributed to Lulu's wall.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The JibJab team did an awesome job putting all this together and making the designs really come alive. Thanks to everyone at the studio and to Evan Spiridellis for getting me involved. It was fun to do and I'm looking forward to doing more with them in the future!</div>

For Christmas my parents bought me a great new watercolour field set for on-location mark-making! So, we stayed in cabin for a couple of days after Christmas and I carefully chose a prime spot to sit down and capture the joys of nature with my new gift. Below is the result... not bad for a first effort.<br />

Here's an original piece I did for the <a href="http://qpopshop.com/main/?page_id=17" target="_blank">Black Christmas show</a> opening at<a href="http://qpopshop.com/main/" target="_blank"> Q-Pop </a>in downtown LA this weekend. The brief was to do a piece based on a popular horror film (not necessarily Christmas themed), I chose to do 'the Fog'.<br />
My super-talented fellow doodler, <a href="http://fattywhale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rikke Asbjorn</a> also did a <a href="http://fattywhale.blogspot.com/2012/12/catula.html" target="_blank">piece for the show</a>. Be sure to check it out on her <a href="http://fattywhale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and buy it before somebody else does!<br />

Here's a sneak peek of two original pieces I scribbled and pooped for the <a href="http://qpopshop.com/main/?page_id=17" target="_blank">Tokusatsu Exhibition</a> opening this weekend at <a href="http://qpopshop.com/main/" target="_blank">Q-Pop</a> in the Little Tokyo district of down town LA. The exhibition runs from September 15th to the 30th, with the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/454837717870454/473860329301526/?notif_t=plan_mall_activity" target="_blank">opening party</a> this Saturday at 7pm. There'll be bucket loads of great artwork on view and available to buy (I believe the artwork will also be available through the Q-Pop website). Come along and say 'ey up'! </div>
