Hi everyone. I’m Elin, one of the illustrators working at Mythic Australia. I have been assigned to create the Picture Book for the ‘Land of Adventure’ – the Novel by Kip Nutter and Ian Coate.
Creating any products for Mythic Australia is a collaborative process. We have such an imaginative team of people all working together, each inspiring the other with their various crafts.
Let me take you behind-the-scenes so you can see the fun process of making a book for Mythic Australia. Along the way, we will meet some of the team who make Mythic Australia such a rich and wonderful universe.
Firstly I was given the ‘Land of Adventure’ Novel (Book 1 in the Mythic Australia series) and asked if I could turn it into a vibrant Picture Book for a younger audience. This would be a challenge; even though the Novel had many illustrations to guide me, they were only black and white. I would need to create new colour compositions from scratch for the Picture Book.
