When I illustrate for a children’s book. I prefer to start with character design. In the original story ,the main characters were two bears,so I've tried this many times, I drew hundreds of beers, and I found that it is too hard to draw a beer that everyone likes and do not repeat with other characters.
And those little bears I drew are not for me, so I have to try a new way. Then I found raccoons, their naughty little faces are very suitable for the main character in this story.
Looking back, I think I was very lucky that I came across this story. Because the character’s situation is very familiar with my childhood experience. So I was drawing from the point of view from children and the author was writing from mom's perspective. I think everyone can get something form it.
