Break it down.

I've been working on other things like our 2011 resource guide, and been on holidays. I'm going to start the proper paintings soon. 45-odd illustrations are a little bit intimidating... they're starting to loom. So today I'm taking a small step, and finding out how much paper I have, and where my brushes are.

1. Find materials.
2. Trace draft sketches onto nice paper, finishing any details I left out.
3. Watercolour everything, except skin tones.
4. Skin tones.
5. Pencil around illustrations again.
