Moon Mouse

These Illustrations were my submissions for the Carmelite Prize 2021 picture book, ‘Moon Mouse’. I worked with mixed media of watercolour, oil pastels & colour pencil to create these collage images along with photoshop.

Once i’d drawn my Moon Mouse character I then developed him further by turning him blue. He worked well against the dark galaxy and on the bright moon. And as the script mentioned that the moon was white and chalky, I decided to give him novelty slippers to protect his feet and add to the cuteness of the character.

Here are examples of the process from rough pencil drawings, character design, colour palate and some finished images.
