I love curling up with old books on rainy days. I suspect you do too…. It’s raining today, as I finish up these scans and conversions and whatnot to prepare this post.<\/p>\n

I like deep rich jewel tones but the light I’m under as I make this coloring preview illustration isn’t working for me and my weird eyes today. \u00a0Maybe I’ll try again, printing this on heavier paper and get a stuffie so I can demo the shadows more for myself. Maybe I’ll try in paint and touches of gold leaf for fun. Though that might distract from the rabbit.<\/p>\n

This is one of the Tiny Tin illustrations, too, by the way. Yay for having another one cleaned up! (Head’s up: you may see this again on a cover of an APA I’m in, and I’m still working on that bigger project for all these once-tiny illustrations.)<\/p>\n

I’d love to see how you color this too! How do you imagine your own library-warren?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh and that reminds me: Have any of you also read\/enjoyed Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library series<\/a>? I’m pleased to see there are more than I knew of!<\/p>\n

Be warm, be safe, be healthy, be happy!<\/p>\n
