Colouring Book

In February an opportunity arose for me to submit a design for an adult colouring book. The company making the book was Papyrus, a charity for the prevention of young suicide, they set a theme for the book - mindfulness, and with our submission they asked that we include a quote about what helps us to feel calm. They also asked if we would leave a space within the illustration where the quote could be placed. I found this an exciting project as I love drawing but it is not something I do a lot of in my studio work at University, I was also excited to be able help the charity. I drew a nature scene in my personal style as nature is calming to me. My quote within the illustration says 'Observing nature helps me to feel clam, when I am conscious of the present moment I take in and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings.' Today I have been informed that my design has been accepted and will be included in the book which I am extremely happy about, I have also been informed that I will receive a copy of the book in two weeks.
