Progress updates:
I’ve developed a frame story to show what Ally is doing when she discovers the individual letters on the bottom of her shoe. This provides a framework for the illustrations and adds an additional element to the story structure.
I’ve chosen which art medium best portrays how I envision Ally and the story–colored pencil. I completed a number of illustrations two different ways and will upload both options to my desktop publishing software to determine which one works best on the page.
I’ve completed illustrations of Ally’s teddy bear and an initial sketch of Grandma.
This week I will create a more concrete layout for the storyboard and will draw most, if not all, of the remaining initial sketches for On the Bottom of My Shoe.
Thank you again for being part of this project. I enjoy sharing Ally’s story with you.
Kind regards, Bernice
