John Broadley
While You're Sleeping

Children's Publishing

Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
I was commissioned to illustrate a picture book describing the night-time world which goes on when children are asleep - from bakers preparing bread and cakes, to firefighters waiting for a call, to hospitals helping people have babies and caring for those who are ill.

How was the illustration used:
The illustrations for this project formed a forty-page picture book, including front cover and endpapers. The majority of the book is made up of double-page spreads which fill the area and have text incorporated within the scenes.

How did you make this work:
The illustrations were initially large scale, black and white drawings done in pen & ink with collaged elements which were imported into photoshop and then colourized.
