Today I design book and and the storyboard.
First, I design book cover for 3 look.
It about Hands and Arms, so I focus on it by designed a hand character and another one I draw a lot of arms to described that arms are useful and the last design it was a kid show his hand up in the sky with a happy face.
Next, the story was about a little dog and a little cat.
The story will be about a lonely puppy want someone to pat his head and a kitten who want someone to comfort her.
Then there a gold fish, the story will guide you to help the goldfish and keep them alive!!
Then there a pizza, we want the reader to slice the pizza and learning to share!!
The dog character that I need to design:
I need to search for the dogs breeds and find my favorite one and draw it in my style.
And for the kitten, I not finish with my research yet!!
Then, I talked with my dad about the book cover and my dad love the first design that I did.
So that gonna be the one.
My dad sent me the prototype that he wanted to be and then I try to make it better.
I had adapted it 2 into design.
And this was the first one.
And this was the second.
But it still not good, so I tried to change the way the smoke below these hands and it became like this.
But it too simple and it too sharp so I redraw it.
But then I made it toooo simple like this.
After sent this to my dad he told me to add more shading and draw the hand in superman pose!!
And the smoke need to be like the rocket when they start to get off the earth!!
Dad also sent me a references to show me what he wanted the book cover to be
and I got more Idea from it.
These are a referent link:
So I tried to draw again.
And it get better!!
But the smoke can look better so I redraw it and watch for the referent from youtube to see a real smoke.
But when I draw it, I seem to looked liked something else but it the best thing I can draw for now!

Today, it a day that I need to chose the theme, mood and tone colors for this book.
So I search for palette that fit the the draft that I had draw before, then I had a talked with my dad about this we ended up wanted the lively and playful theme.
So I chose the green yellow orange theme.
Then I started painted the first draft.
Then I had a problem about the title because it look too hard to read, so I searched up for referent from pinterest and then I found the great one so I tried to draw that title font then I adapt it into my own title name.
And then I change the color so it match the theme.
And this one too, it a first page of this book.
Now I discussed about the title color and we ended up wanted the red-black theme so I change and adapt the title, I make a shadow for the word AWESOME and it look better.
Next, I draw the next page.
This one I put a little finger puppets in each finger.
And I chose 3 palette to paint these puppet, it colorful yet pastel.
I want it to not be too vivid or too bright.
And then I painted page 3-4
Then I draw the main story of this book.
In the page 8 I had draw 2 version.
Version 1: the hand and the brain are watching the earth from the moon.
Version 2: They are normally watching the earth from somewhere.

"Journey at grandma's house"
My task is to.........
Draft the scene in P 32-43
Actually I drew just a few pages for the draft and then search for a rabbit references in Google too.
31 May
This is a drawing of the rabbit hat I design, it very simple so I'll need to fix it later.
The day at my grandma's house I had learn to use Medibang in Iphone so I can corporate work by sending through cloud file.
My dad help me with the coloring and use the Mediband app too so when I save my character line art as a cloud file, my dad can work on it as a psd file.
Diary 21 June
Oi oi Today I drew P 42-43 And The RABBIT that I drew was THICK....I mean the leg muscle was too thick and the first version of this rabbit didn't have enough belly (it too flat) and the second one the legs muscle was way bigger than the first so my dad helped me drew the third version. And I also change app too, I use adobe draw on my Ipad instead of medibang cause if I draw on my Iphone too much it gonna hurt my eyes badly.
Through the day in this month, I drew P 37-43.
And you might ask me "how did you know what you need to draw next" well WE (me and dad)
drew a first draft in Jamboard and use that as a reference.
And I turned it into a proper line art that can use for coloring in other app.
And then I drew P 44-45.
It a scene where the hands were staring at the sea full of garbage.
22 June
This is a scene where everyone explored the beach and what they had found were only just a garbage.
I actually drew a draft for this scene too, I try to use composition to manage the layout of the scene.
