I did a short ‘writing picturebooks’ course and it inspired me to revisit a vague idea I’d had about making a book about smells. I am quite sensitive to smells and I thought it would be interesting to explore this in imagery.
I was also very taken with the lushness and scent of May foliage at the time, so tried to capture this. The character being a ‘vessel’ for the smell in their transparent-ness.
Observational drawing of the local area with ink, plus imagining a small child smelling things.
