Page 2, "Those huge doors!"


By Lisa Mertins, the Illustrator


Jim remembers those school doors as massive, and my first sketches weren’t nailing that feeling. I struggled with keeping the doors in perspective while giving them a looming presence.

In hindsight, I could have eliminated the door surroundings to make them feel bigger but I wanted those details too. We’re both happy with the results!

If you look carefully at Jimmy's hand, you can see where I sized him down in Photoshop before I sent this sketch.



I really had fun with the Roy Rogers lunch box and Jim remembers he had one as a kid!
