Here are the initial ideas and sketches I took with me to Kerry's meeting. I've been told off a lot in the past (especially by fred) for inking my sketches in berol pens/with thick black lines, as it 'kills' a lot of the movement and potential in them. However in this instance I deliberately chose to do this, because I wanted to see what it looked like 'inked' for a colouring book, and I wanted to display this to Kerry.
She was really happy with everything we all brought with us - but it was agreed immediately that we were going to need some sort of template as a guide to make sure that all of our ideas looked consistent when put into the book, despite all of our different drawing approaches.
She liked the idea of the bubbles (which i'd drawn on my sample page) but wasn't as keen on it flooding the whole page. She also really liked the characters i'd drawn on the sample page - but felt the wall behind the girl might have been a bit too complicated to work for a kid's colouring book.
Bearing all this feedback in mind - Kerry sent adam some samples of potential 'bubbles' we could work with, who then made a sample template for us all to work our illustrations to. These were put up on the facebook group and distributed to us all via Google Drive
