Contest Brief
I'm looking for someone to illustrate my children's book. Please enter this contest if you are interested. I like looking at pastels, or watercolors, soft but bright colors, not cartoons.
Directions: Submit an illustration to demonstrate how you would approach illustrations for the book described below.
Book description: This is a children's poem about the Japanese tradition of forest bathing. The poem rhymes and it's called "Follow the Green Frog."
Key elements:
- CALMING
- Use all five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, hear
- green
- forest
- wildlife - frog, deer, squirrels, ladybug, others
- pine trees
- beautiful nature
Sample stanzas:
Get the feel of the forest
Use your senses as you play
See, smell, taste, touch, and listen
The green frog knows the way.
Feel the earth with bare feet.
Take root with all ten toes.
Touch the bark of a tree.
Mimic the strength of its pose.
Lather up with a cool breeze,
There’s no soap quite like it.
Whispering against your skin,
the air as soft as a bath mitt.
Theme: using all of your senses (touch, smell, hear, see, and taste) to experience the forest and the relaxing feeling it bathes you with.
Tone: calm, fresh, relaxing, outdoors, green, beautiful
Audience: children ages 10 to 12 years old, but I want adults to enjoy the beautiful pictures and message, too.
