My cousin, Carolan Coughlin, wrote the story dedicated to
her nephew, Colin. I printed a storyboard template page and began the visual
development process of drawing in rough sketches to figure out the pacing,
compositions, and text placement. Many versions later, I decided to downsize my
picture book from the typical 32-page book to 24 pages. During this process I
used many reference photos including some of Carolan’s Montana photos, some of
my own photos and others found on the Internet to develop my drawings.
Sometimes I can collect over 50 images! These inspire me to come up with my own
compositions and later I like to use them for color references.
