The first concrete page of my Children's Book project. Well actually, it's the 5th and 6th page, but I started here because I had no clue what kind of style I would use.

I'm doing the project with my friend, and we settled on an old Amerindian legend on how the Vulture got his feathers. It's a story my dad told me when I was young, and I always loved it so~

Anyway, my friend wrote the story in wonderful poetry, I just helped her edit and do the illustrations. This particular one is where the Vulture goes to ask help from Mother Earth because the birds of the world are cold and colorless.

Yeah, I have no clue how to draw a flying bird who's not supposed to have feathers. Woops. Also, I think I went a tad over the top with the background, I might get rid of the sun...thing.

Past many rivers and leaves dripping dew,
Up through the canopy and clouds Vulture flew.
He rose up to the stars shining in the sky
No creature had ever flown so very high.

And after a long flight the Vulture arrived
At the place where the mighty Creator thrived.
Patient, the Creator tilted her head and smiled
“I have been waiting for you for quite a while.”
