Dear Friends,
I’ve gotten requests to see some of the illustrations that I’m working on for “Gidjie and the Wolves” (Intermediaries, book 1), and thought I would take a moment to share a quick pencil sketch version of the illustration that accompanies the prologue. The final image will be digital, as I’m working in Procreate to finish the illustrations after doing all of the pencil sketches.
Also! Tune into 103.3 KUMD MN Reads tomorrow at 8:10 am to hear myself and host of MN Reads, Lisa Johnson, talk about the creation, inspiration and execution of “Gidjie and the Wolves.”

[…] Gidjie’s best friend Carver. Carver is an Intermediary, and this illustration represents how Gidjie sees him while he’s in his opossum form. You can read about Intermediaries in this blog post on my site for more info about who they are: https://tashiahart.com/2020/02/19/preface-sketch/ […]
