There have been two books so far in the Spike and Izzy series. These books are used in schools to help explore community concepts, written by Emma Price of Inspire Schools.
Book 1 was completed entirely in pencil crayon.
We decided that for the next book I would work entirely digitally, and it was then that I worked on developing a process which used my own shading techniques and styles to create the strong colours you see in book 2. Digital working is faster and easier to make changes and you can be more certain of the final result if it is a digital pipeline. As I work at some distance from the writers it’s useful working digitally so that I can show them the work as it progresses.
