How were your illustrations used? :
Book Cover/s, Book inside or spot illustration/s

How did you make this work:
To illustrate a story about how Femke, a timid train conductor, plunged into a crazy adventure in which she finally found her inner courage and the freedom. I use the contrast between a calm colour palette in the first part of the book and increasingly vivid colors from the beginning of the adventure, to highlight the drastic change in the heroine's mind.
