Masterclass, Center ilustracije

Prijazno vabljeni na strokovno delavnico v Center ilustracije, ki bo naslednji ponedeljek ob 18. uri. Govorila bom o skicirkah, skiciranju in kaj mi poleg tega, da je to osnova pri snovanju knjige, še pomenijo. Sledila bo sproščena in upam, da tudi zabavna delavnica.

Slikanica za vsako starost, Družina

Izšla je slikanica DRUŽINA!! Napisal jo je Feri Lainšček, uredila Gaja Kos, za tehninčno-oblikovni del in ostro oko pri tisku je poskrbel Žiga Valetič, izšla je pri Miš založbi. Jaz sem jo ilustrirala. Zadovoljna sem s tiskom, ki je na brezlesnem papirju še posebej naporen. Prilagam nekaj fotografij, na katerih se vidi, kako lepo so ujete poteze barvic in čopiča. Da ni tisk kot prežgana ali brezoblična fleha. Zadovoljna in hvaležna celi ekipi. In pa velika hvala za zaupanje! 

Sketches: a vital part of the creative process.
