Blue Butterflies Breezed by Beautiful Begonias
^^
Ok! I'm in need of your guys' help! I'm currently doing 26 illustrations, 1 for each letter of the alphabet @-@ (yes i have a deadline and its going to tear me apart 8d) It's going to be turned into a children's ABC book, accompanied with cute tongue twisters. ^-^
SO, this illustration is for the letter B. I'm debating weather or not to use my usual digital lines or use pencil. This time I tried using pencil as an experiment. Since it's a children's book, I want some kind of approachable and friendly feeling, and I feel pencil and traditional medias are good at creating that effect. However, I'm not too good at it LOL
I feel like the pencil shading makes it look messy but at the same time it kinda adds more depth to each element. (duno what to do)
So I ask everyone to please give me some feedback D: Mainly:
1. Opinions on digital lines vs. pencil?
2. Should I remove the pencil shading and just use pencil outline?
3. Go all digital or all traditional media?
4. Others?
Thanks! :D

I really like the style you've used here! It has that sort of rustic fantasy storybook feeling, like the kind of drawings if you opened up a wizard's book or something :D. You might remove that if you got rid of the pencil shading as well. My eyes lit up seeing this picture, so I'm sure children would love it!

:D Love seeing your work! All the lines flow together so well! My two cents: Keep the pencil lines and digital colors, ditch the pencil shading.

Personally I like how you mixed traditional with digital media, the result is awesome! Plus if really this work will be used for a children book, I think you did the right choice!
Also the use of three primary colours is wonderful, and I love how you attached all the details! :D -

Okies~!
1-I personally prefer pencil, and I think that for a child's book it's more suitable because it offers a more "palpable" (like, they understand better) notion of the coloring.
2-NO. ò.ó
3-The mixed version is good enough, I don't really think you should change it. Maybe you could soften some parts (like the red butterfly's wing) to make it more uniform, but I must say I liked the combination.
4-Looking forward to more of those. :D -

Oh my goodness... If this is an example of the artwork, I SOOOOOO want to purchase a copy of this when you finish it! (And maaaaaaybe I'll let my students look at... or just the well-behaved ones. XD)

It's a lovely blend of digital and traditional. The colours and the dreamy, abstract, nature-themed elements go together nicely~ Indeedy Blue Butterflies and Bees Breezing by Beautiful Begonias make a pretty concept.
As to the pencil shading, hmm, well it would be a little tidier if the pencil shading was colored so it blends in better. But that's just my opinion. ^w^ It certainly lends it a handmade, authentic look.

Personally I love the mix of traditional art + digital so I say keep the pencil lines but do the actual coloring digital
I'm with fireflywishes, I'd love to buy it too -
