Shark Attack!

Happy July!  
​We’ve been enjoying lots of fun in the sun over here.  (And napping in the sun)

I’ve also been working on a new children’s book (don’t forget about Finnegan!), and because my son is who he is, it features sharks.  I’ve already written a manuscript, which I’m sure I’ll continue to edit. The trickiest part has been making it short enough to be a picture book, not a chapter book.  

I think I’ve gotten it short enough now, so I’m starting to sketch out some of the characters.  It features 5 different kinds of sharks (cause sharks are seriously so cool! ).  I assigned myself to draw 2-4 sketches of each shark type. I finished that step today.  Here are the sketches!

Looking at them all up there makes my heart happy.  🦈 ❤️

​Except for maybe the goblin shark. They are terrifying.

Next my plan is to decide how to divide the words into pages, and then start sketching out the scenes.  I am a big believer in dividing a big project into tiny tasks.  

Like that. ☝🏻

I will for sure keep you posted on my progress.
