    Question, are these supposed to be drawn as line art so that they can be used as a coloring book? Or can we use greys as well...

    Jojo,
    The clouds and birds are great on the new boy with balloons. I can't tell what's in the road though.

    Hey, everyone!
    I've heard you and I respect your time and talents as artists. Consequently, after discussions with my partners, we've increased the prize money. I hope that entices more of you to submit your ideas.

    Thanks, Meretrix for the professional viewpoint. For this project, we're not looking for very elaborate drawings. As I've said before, think about the very simple illustrations that use to fill the margins of Mad Magazines. We want something like that, only ever so slightly bigger. The coloring challenge that we'll be asking of the kids on these pages is only a snippet of the greater task--- which is learning to print. We'll get to real coloring pages at another time.

    Hope this is satisfactory. I am truly enjoying your inventiveness, especially in such a long but thin canvas. In fact, if you all don't mind, I would prefer this size for all the pictures. The rest of the alphabet printing page has already been laid out leaving room for this addition at the bottom.

    My apologies to all those artists who have been working on a more vertical layout. I'm not ruling them out, but if you can create a silly panorama (even if most of it is background stuff), it would fit better.

    Thanks.

    Bev

    I believe the style of the work (very simple, lines only) might establish the CH's prize money still within the professional range.

    I know 'coloring book' illustrators are often paid less than a Children's Book full water-color illustrator, for example. Because of color application they're putting in more hours to be billed in the end.
