Behind the Scenes: Part 4
There is something truly magical about watching a children's story come to life long before the final colors are added. I am so excited to share another early rough draft sketch from one of our upcoming picture books. Building a book is a step by step journey of collaboration, imagination, and refining every little detail until the magic lands on the page. Seeing these initial pencil lines turn into fully realized characters is always my favorite part of the process. Stay tuned for more […]https://heathercongrove.com/2026/09/14/behind-the-scenes-part-4/

Behind the Scenes: Part 5
The storyboards are taking shape in The Book Nook. I wanted to drop in and share a raw, quick sketch from the draft table as our newest picture book builds momentum. Capturing the emotion in a scene before any painting begins is where the real storytelling happens. These initial drawings are the blueprint for everything to come, giving us our very first look at how the pages will feel in a child’s hands. I cannot wait to share the next steps in this journey with you, so stay tuned right […]https://heathercongrove.com/2026/09/09/behind-the-scenes-part-5/

Before we worry about color, lighting, or final details, we use these initial drafts to figure out how a scene feels.I wanted to share this rough drawing from another scene we are working on. In our house, my kids like to spot the tiny details in these early sketches that sometimes change by the time the final book is printed.

Behind the Scenes: Part 2
A Quick Look at Our Early Concept Art Before a new scene ever makes it to full color, it starts as a simple pencil sketch. I love keeping these early drafts because they capture the exact moment a story idea begins to take shape. My kids always enjoy looking over these rough drawings during our school day and trying to guess what the characters are doing. I thought it would be fun to share this sneak peek from our latest project with you!
