First Commission!

I was in London with a friend when I get a rather odd phone call.  I wasn't quite sure where it was going but I soon realised that I was being asked to do some illustrations for a new children's book!  So a month later here I am...working on my first illustration!  I won't go into detail about the book but it's about a boy and a cat and it is aimed at 5-8year olds.  The book is by Sali Childs who is a retired teacher and has now taken up writing children's books in her spare time.  Here is a sneak peak of the illustration.  It probably still needs work but this is the style I'm going for.  When the book is done it will be self-published by Sali.

I'd really like some feedback on this illustration! :)
