Over the weekend I made a start on designing some of the scenery for this project (mainly trees at the moment). Each scene will be quite full of characters with a lot going on, and the story will follow the characters taking a journey throughout the book, so in order to do that I am planning on creating my own "fairytale world". I'll be designing this (and possibly making a map for it) before I start really placing the characters into the scenes.
Here's the designs I've got for the trees so far:
Over the week I'll be looking at all the other aspects of the scenery such as the Gingerbread house, the Palace, lakes and streams etc.
