Soft colours can work really well for children’s books. But I encourage everyone to break the rules. Adding graffiti can be fun too.
We strive so much for perfection, only to forget that jagged lines can bring raw power to a story.
Colour outside the lines. Break boundaries. See what kind of graffiti and craziness you can conceive.
A book doesn’t always need a trendy animal to appeal to kids (it is so tempting to include a kitten on every page). Sometimes a few squiggly lines are enough to let them know that they can break rules too. They should.
