Shadows

“Hildilid dragged her heavy cauldron to the fire so she could boil away the night.  She ladled it, stirred it, simmered it, bubbled it, and burned it, but she could not boil away the night.”

  2. One of the most wonderful aspects of illustration for children’s books is that you can indulge yourself and have lots of wonderful lighting effects and shadows. Mystery is allowed. Good stuff here.
