I decided to post the rest of the spreads. The story was very restrictive in its 7 prompts only accommodating 7 images. If this was real I’d have to do a lot more work to bring the story to life with more spreads but as I say it was a fun exercise and I’d really love to do a picture book that was purely for the story.
The Little Snail's Tale.
So You may have seen I took part in the Folktale week Challenge on Instagram. I posted an image for each of the 7 prompts- Home, Secret, Path, Smoke, Darkness, Key, Crown. I struggled for a bit to think what to do and how to do it but eventually I settled to write and illustrate a story. It was lots of fun and a good challenge. I would still probably go back and amend some things I feel could improve but for now I’m happy to show what was done over the week. Here is the first page of the story. I will post the rest in the coming days so keep your eyes peeled!
