In a picture book course with Rutu Modan, I illustrated "The Crocodile" by Omer Hallel. My main inspiration came from the picture book "Peter and the Wolf," and I used a scratch technique that works on black paper, giving the illustrations a darker, richer feel. I believe that picture books can help children confront their fears, and even though the black paper may have a "scary" look, it actually lends a cute and touchable quality to the artwork, making it inviting for young readers.
