I went shopping this morning and bought myself a scanner. I've just completed the illustrations for
Rosen Trevithick's second Smelly Trolls book - "
Mr Splendiferous and the Troublesome Trolls", but I'd found using a camera to transfer the pictures onto the computer a major hassle and far more time-consuming than I wanted, so I treated myself to a scanner. Then, this afternoon, I created a "How to" information sheet for Class 5A at a school in Cornwall who have been studying "
The Troll Trap".
I'm not sure how to reproduce a PDF here, but this is how it goes -
 |
Figure 1. Draw rough shapes in pencil.
|
 |
Figure 2. Outline shapes in pencil. Add features like face,
clothes, fingers and toes
|
 |
Figure 3. Add more details (still in pencil) like hair, warts
and cracks in the skin.
|
 |
Figure 4. Go over all the important lines in black pen. Erase
all the pencil marks.
|
 |
Figure 5. Colour in your Troll. Give him (or her) a really
ugly name.

If you're interested in a copy for your class, just let me know and I'll send you a PDF file. If you haven't read either of the Troll books yet, I recommend you do, especially if you have a young child to read them to. They are magnifitastic and bellilafficus!
