Lucy Builds a Bike


Introducing Lucy

This is Lucy, or at least an early version of her. I’ve started work on Lucy Builds A Bike, a children’s book about a very practical young lady and her helpful parents. Right now I’m just loosening up a bit and laying down a few rough sketches of the pages (this is also the reason why Skeleton Boy has returned).

After I’d done my sketch, I showed it to the girls and asked them to draw their versions of Lucy. According to Charlotte, Lucy is angry in this picture “Because Daddy took her toys away.” You don’t want to mess with an angry Lucy. As shall be revealed, she knows how to weld, amongst other things.

Georgia did quite a few versions of Lucy, including this one. Luckily, Georgia’s Lucy is always happy.

More Lucy images as and when I, and the girls, create them.
