Yacana's Constellation

A couple of weeks ago I took a Picture Book Illustration workshop 

with artist Yuyi Morales.

We created from scratch a storyboard for a Children's Book, 

we picked two thumbnails, refined the sketches 

and turned 'em into finished pieces... 

The story I picked:

YACANA'S CONSTELLATION 

The llama is one of the most important animals for the Incas. 

Its silhouette appears in the dark areas between the stars. 

For this reason, llamas with black fur were very important in the Incan religion.

 Two very bright stars in the constellation of Centauri (alphaand beta) represent the black llama's eyes.

 

Incan legend tells us that Yacana (the llama) was wandering with her 

baby along a river that crossed the entire sky (the Milky Way). 

The more she walked, the blacker she became. Her baby accompanied her throughout the sky. When the baby became hungry, Yacana fed him. 

When Yacana woke up, it became daytime. It is said that the man who 

finds himself in a place where Yacana has fed her baby will have good luck 

for the rest of his days.

Yacana was just and treated everyone equally. She would not make 

only one man or one woman happy. At night, when nobody was

looking, she used to go and drink water from the oceans. She drank

the water of pain, the water of sadness and the water of thirst and

hunger. She drank the water of the tragedy of humankind and

prevented the seas from overflowing and flooding the earth.

The process:

The workshop was really fun and I got to meet emerging illustrators from México (lots of talented people everywhere...)

Here's another Children's book dummy I did for a contest. 

This one is a rushed attempt to write and illustrate a story, therefore, it needs a lot of revisions and corrections.

It was an experimental project, I used ink on Mylard, great surface to explore random, uncontrollable textures.

Please, critiques are welcome...  eventhough is in Español....
