Kara the Koala Bear



Bears can swim



Bears are nocturnal




Bears love honey



Bears can fish



Four final double-page spreads for my picture book Kara the Koala Bear. I began by using mixed-media colouring pencils and fine-liner pen. However, I then decided to change medium; drawing the keylines in fine-liner pen, eyes in colouring pencil and then scanning these drawings aswell as different textures into the computer and editing on Photoshop. I feel that combining texture into my illustrations has made the aesthetic more striking, interesting and engaging for children.
