An illustration for 'The Lost Mouse and the Moon Cheese'

Little mouse

This morning I've been drawing a new illustration for my story 'The Lost Mouse and the Moon Cheese'. I'm hoping to share the story with you soon.
I sketched out the mouse in pencil before working over the top with drawing ink and watercolours.

Adding black drawing ink using a dip pen

'The grass slightly bowed under the weight of the mouse, bobbing and swaying as the little mouse climbed up higher and higher. '

Have a great day!

Big $ in that. U don't even need a deep plot or many words.. If I had money I'd pay for this artist to do just that!

Very sweet - although I do wonder if the final scan seems a touch over-saturated. I guess it depends on the final production/purpose but there's a softness in the photos of your painting that I love that gets a bit lost in the final scan.
