Today I started illustrating the Brothers Grimm story 'The Frog Prince' and as i usualy do simple drawings for stories this time I've decided to go all out and do detailed water colour pictures for each bit along with snazzy border. This is the start of the first image, the sentance says "Once upon a time, when wishes still came true, there lived a king who had beautiful daughters. The youngest was so lovely that even the sun, which had seen so many things, was filled with wonder when it shone upon her face."
The story doesn't specify how many daughters it just says 'daughters' so I've gone for three. This stage has already taken me at least 2 hours, it's all water colour but the border was painted in sections then layered up and placed digitaly.
