Creating childhood memories- part 1

What is your special childhood memorie?
I‘m sure I won’t be the only one who unfortunately can’t remember most of his early years.
But independently of the age there are some things that stay in our mind forever. Like your best kindergarten friend, a trip where your grandparents took you over the weekend, or your favorite meal that only your mother was able to cook.

For me as a kid I never wanted to waste my time in front of a television, so I spent a lot of time reading books, or more like looking through the lovely colored pictures.
Inspired by the fantasy of stories like „The Little Prince“ or „The Very Hungry Caterpillar“, I started to draw my own fantasy worlds throughout my school time, to the displease of my teachers :D

After school, the motivation to draw disappeared somewhere... but now thanks to Steemit it suddenly came back and flooded my mind with a ton of ideas!
So to come straight to the point: I’m going to create my own book dedicated to the stories that accompanied my childhood and I want to share my progress with you.

Where to start?
I think everyone knows the feeling of staring at a plank page and not knowing where to start. It’s the same for drawing and writing. But if you combine those two things it only becomes worse!
So I just grabbed a blank paper and began to doodle in different styles and that led me to my first beautiful little drawing:

Scanned and colored in photoshop I was very happy with the outcome!
I liked the idea of having many little islands, with different themes and so I kept on drawing.

The foundation is laid! I think I will go on with that style. Now the second part will be to write the story. What I can reveal though, is that it’ll become dark and scary because I find it more thrilling to read and more fun to draw!

I hope you like it so far! What is your opinion?
Take care :)
