Super Baby Arrives

On the second spread, Super Baby arrives to help Jesse feel better and learn his colors.

Jesse sick and dizzy

In the beginning we find Jesse in bed sick with color fever. I wanted the layout to look serious, so I drew it from above, making it more vertical. I wanted the room to be neat but very colorful, thus explaining why someone who couldn’t tell his colors apart would feel overwhelmed lying there in bed.

You are holding your breath forever.

I found my favorite set of travel watercolors while cleaning out the garage and brought them to swim class, for my daughter’s swim lesson and my 1/2 hour live model drawing session.
