Billie B Brown- The Secret Message

Wow, it has been quite a while since the last blog...
This year has been a busy year, I have 24 books scheduled to come out this year that I have worked on!
Now that 12 of them has already come out in the shops I can share some images and some very late launch updates!
First up, the 8th book in the Billie B Brown series "The Secret Message".


This was released in January by Hardie Grant Egmont. Another lovely story written by Sally Rippin.
Below are some images to show the processes I went through.
As you can see the little girl named Charlotte was a bit too little and young looking in the original rough.

Billie makes a new friend named Harriet  in this story. She started off being rather slim. I like how she is looking in the final illustration, nicely rounded!
Hopefully I will make more effort to keep my blog up to date from now on! I will do another update tomorrow! :)
