I chose the theme nightmares and went with that. Lots of people are afraid of snakes, and since I'd had recent encounters with snakes, I decided on that. At first it was supposed to be a snake in a forest with a bush and a tree in the background. Changed to grass with a tree in the background and a sun in the top right. Sadly, there wasn't time to paint it or finish the tree, but it's better than I expected. Having a pristine clear plan was extremely hard for me. Spent too much time estimating how many pages I should do for each layer. In the end, I just went with it. Some of the problems faced were; messing up, time management, and inexperience. When there was a mistake I just went with it. Nothing's perfect. It looks pretty good as is.. The original plan was to do a red snake with bright yellow eyes in a dark forest, then became a snake in a field. Showing it in a new light. (Again, no paint..) Getting sick of planning was a problem. I just threw away the planning guide after a bit. It couldn't have gone better, even though that was a terrible choice. This looks great to me. My first book art piece. I'm proud of it and I will probably take it into my own hands to finish later.
