Updated: Flowers & Birds: What Came Next?

So Kevin started with these notes on the Michigan state flower and bird. What came later? Well, this draft page:



Tomorrow, you'll see the book as it will appear in the book, then on Saturday, we'll hear the evolution of the songs that go with them.

Kevin provides some useful additional information:

One thing I forgot to mention is that my wife and I co-wrote the book. We didn't state who wrote what though. With this "behind the scenes" though it's cool to notice a bit more of who did what. For example, I wrote the first draft of the Robin, but Steph did the first draft of Apple Blossom.

Another cool thing is that I co-illustrated the book with my friend Ryan Hipp. So, some art is by him, some by me, and some we worked on together. Basically, the book was a big collaboration between me, Steph, and Ryan.

Also, the various sketches I'll be sending are not specifically an "exact step by step" . . . along the way, each one has a different number of steps throughout that.
