Te dni oddajam ilustracije za novo slikanico, ki se bo pridružila slikanici Zebra v ogledalu. Obe je napisala Tina Arnuš Pupis, nastali pa sta pod okriljem Miš založbe.
Z novim vodilnim likom sem raziskovala celo paleto čustev in vrednot. Ter jih skušala ujeti s svinčnikom, gvašem, akvarelom, z vsem, kar mi je pomagalo upodobiti določen prizor. Čaka nas še naslovnica, pika na i, ki bo zaokrožila celotno zgodbo in sporočilo. Lepo je videti, kako se slikanica prebuja v življenje.

Lately, I’ve been busy finishing up the illustrations for a brand-new picture book that will soon join Zebra in the Mirror on the bookshelf! Both stories are written by the wonderful Tina Arnuš Pupis and brought to life under the wings of Miš Publishing.
This time, I got to know a brand-new main character—and together, we explored a whole rainbow of emotions and values. I tried to catch them all using whatever tools felt right in the moment: pencil, gouache, watercolor… whatever helped me capture just the right feeling in each scene.
Now, all that’s left is the cover—the cherry on top that will wrap up the whole story and its message. It’s such a joy to see a picture book slowly waking up to life!
