Children's Book Illustrations

Over the past year I have been illustrating a collection of short stories for pre-school children by a local author. For each of the 13 stories I made one picture that should get children interested in the story but not give away any twists or punchlines. Last weekend the book was finally released in a very short run which gives me a pretext to post some of my own work here for a change:

All pictures: pencil and watercolor on grained paper, colors in photoshop.
