Chapter 203 Drawing Picture Books for Babies (2/2)

Let's use what they provide; that way, it'll be easier for them to print once the final draft is ready.

Before Lin Han even started drawing, Grandma Jiang was already thinking about finalizing the draft, printing, and binding.

She had complete confidence in her granddaughter-in-law.

In the afternoon, someone delivered art supplies, including pre-cut paper, some basic brushes, and paints.

Lin Han used the paper the size required by the Education Bureau, but she used paint from her own space.

On the one hand, she was worried that the industrial pigments used in this era might not be safe, and she feared they might harm her baby.

On the other hand, the paints provided by the Education Bureau are rather limited and the coloring effect is not good. The non-toxic and harmless paints that Fangfang sent her from her online space are much better.

After taking a nap, Lin Han began to brainstorm the outline of the picture book. She planned to arrange storylines of varying complexity according to the baby's age.

For babies under one year old, pictures are the main focus. As they get older, you can gradually add storylines.

She plans to first draw a brightly colored picture book for babies aged 0-3 months with a simple storyline, and then draw a picture book for children aged 3 and above with a story to tell. She will then submit these books to the education bureau for review.

Once there are no more problems, you can start drawing the others.

She conceived a story about a little rabbit and a big bear chasing a balloon. The story revolves around where the balloon went and the two little animals encounter other little animals in their search.

It is simple and easy to understand, with a bold and bright visual style.

Because of her artistic background, Lin Han finished the line drawing in just one afternoon.

She originally wanted to apply the colors all at once, but when Gu Qizheng came home from get off work and saw her sitting downstairs, he felt sorry for her and massaged her feet before saying that he would take her out for a walk.

Lin Han's neck was a bit stiff, so she decided to wait until tomorrow when the light was better before applying the color.

Lin Han finished her two picture albums in five days, and Grandma Jiang asked the clerk to deliver them to the Education Bureau.

The education bureau leaders were overjoyed and called Grandma Jiang back that same day.

"Old leader, your granddaughter-in-law's illustrations for this children's book are excellent, better than any submission we've received before."

This really solved a major problem for us in publishing children's books.

Neither of these two picture books needs any revisions; they can be finalized immediately.

I will personally send someone to deliver the royalties to your home after they are calculated next month.

Could your granddaughter-in-law continue drawing more? Ideally, she could create a series of coherent picture books.

Grandma Jiang was a little embarrassed. In her heart, she wanted Lin Han to rest more and not be so tired.

However, since this was Lin Han's own business, she couldn't refuse directly, so she called Lin Han over to ask for her opinion.

Lin Han was somewhat surprised that the Education Bureau had finalized the draft so quickly.

"Sure, I'll try to draw as many as possible. I've already come up with a series of stories, so it'll be good to draw them all at once."

Seeing that Lin Han had agreed, Grandma Jiang had nothing more to say, so she replied to the other side.

“Alright, then let my granddaughter-in-law continue painting. But I’m making this clear beforehand: she’s pregnant right now. If she feels tired and doesn’t want to paint anymore, then she can stop. You can’t keep urging her every few days.”

The education bureau leaders were eager to have such a talented person contribute articles to them, especially since she was the granddaughter-in-law of former leader Jiang Zemin. How could they dare to urge her?

"Okay, okay, from now on, we'll still send the manuscripts to the Education Bureau. After the Education Bureau reviews the content, they'll send them to the publishing house for typesetting and printing."

Once the picture book is published, I will send you a complete set.
