Here's the second illustration. It's the manor's kitchen cat, Felicia, trying to persuade the mice to allow her to relocate them to safety in the forest, but it's a hard sell.
I'm happy with the extensive pencil work then the quick tinting with watercolor washes. I fell very comfortable with pencil and I should get better with the watercolor over time.
At this rate, it will take a long time to finish all the illustrations, but that's fine. I wanted a long term project, and I've got one!
By the way, I think the little mouse hiding behind the leg of the stool adds the little touch that really makes this piece.
