He just beats himself in the head. For the longest time I kept trying to think of making some amorphous character with piano key teeth or a snail that had a shell that was shaped like a French horn. It just got a little too weird when you looked at it. I didn't want these to be aliens or variations of furry beasts. I wanted these to be imaginary friends."https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dan-santat-beekle-21.jpgdan-santat-beekle-21The final spread from Beekle by Dan Santat.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dan-santat-beekle-18.jpgdan-santat-beekle-18A spread from Beekle where Beekle and Alice meet for the first time.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dan-santat-beekle-12.jpgdan-santat-beekle-12https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dan-santat-beekle-11.jpgdan-santat-beekle-11A final illustration for Beekle: In this scene "the ground was a color pencil texture overlaid with a watercolor texture.

I learned this from my experience in working in the video game industry. If you were to make something in 3D without it being lit in a scene it would look horribly dull. Lighting is like 90% of the whole thing."https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dan-santat-beekle-8.jpgdan-santat-beekle-8The final spread representing Beekle's journey.

In the final book she's got blond curly hair, like the real Dasha. "I thought maybe she should have curly hair even though I hate [drawing] it. I feel like she's pretty severe in the [first] version. I had all of these conversations with different art directors about doing picture books and them wanting things to be cuter. I was trying to figure out how to make things cuter but still retain my own way of doing them. When I sent the first sketches of the revised character to Groundwood they were like, 'Yeah, this is great. We really love her, but she's maybe too cute. We want to go back to the [original character].' It ended up being sort of a medium between the two." https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tolstikova-tumblr.jpgTolstikova-tumblrA few of Dasha's recent tumblr posts.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/a-year-without-mom-cover.jpga-year-without-mom-coverhttps://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tolstikova-studio-4.jpgTolstikova-studio-4https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tolstikova-year-without-mom-2.jpgTolstikova-year-without-mom-2https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tolstikova-year-without-mom-4.jpgTolstikova-year-without-mom-4Another first dummy sketch paired with the final published spread in the book.

Linocut tools have come with different size blades. Start with the smallest one to outline the edges of your drawing.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pen-and-oink-speedy-carve-4.jpgpen-and-oink-speedy-carve-4You can change your blade to a larger size to carve away the bigger areas.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pen-and-oink-speedy-carve-5.jpgpen-and-oink-speedy-carve-5To make a second color for your print, you can use the back side of your block. Line up your sketch the same distance from the top of the block as your first color so the colors will align properly when you go to print. I usually align the top of my paper with the top of the block to keep things simple.https://penandoink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pen-and-oink-speedy-carve-1.jpgpen-and-oink-speedy-carve-1Start with a pencil drawing of the image you'd like use.
