Terry: I would say that at the start of our book career we were primarily doing hand-drawn illustrations and then colouring them digitally in Photoshop. Ocean Meets Sky and The Barnabus Project also started as standalone illustrations. The Night Gardener actually started as a t-shirt design that Terry and I collaborated on ten years ago. Most of our books have found their start as a standalone image, where we had no plan to write a story around them. An iPad is actually a wonderful tool for doing a rough dummy because it’s very low stakes-you can always redo something or erase. I sketch in traditional media, as well as digitally. Do you initially work from sketches or traditional art media before moving your illustrations into a digital format for editing and color application?Įric: All our books start with sketches and a rough dummy, before we start working on final art.
