I have finally finished my illustration for the picture book, I took the same image and applied different emotions that I could use in my finalised book. What I like most about this design is the use of the gradient and colours. I really makes the character stand out. I also feel like this illustration is very flexible and will allow me to create different emotions and hopefully will be able to recreate different characters, like a whole family of alligators. I have also decided to keep the grain effect for this as I felt it really does create a really nice texture to my overall design and will allow me to keep my supporting graphics.
