Digby and the Construction Crew
Digby and his coworkers work from dawn to dusk. The work is hard, it’s hot, and they face deadlines to get each job done. But, one day, Digby decides it’s time to have some fun. He starts to dance, and soon all the other trucks join in. A raucous and joyous story of a very different kind of construction site.
This is the behind-the-scenes of the cover illustration for the "Dig it Digby" book series!
Revised final sketch over the cover layout
This was my initial color scheme and style
Below are the changes requested by the publisher
Digby and the Construction Crew
It’s forklift Axel’s first day on the construction site, and he wants to show all the other trucks just how good he is. He swaggers and sways, he spins and dashes. The more he tries to help, the more things go wrong. When he apologizes, all the other trucks gather around to show him how they all work together to get the job done.
This was my initial color-design proposal
Final Version requested by the publisher.
Digby and the Construction Crew
On a hot summer day, temperatures are rising, both outside and among the crew. Digby has an idea to cool things off: a beach day, right at the construction site! In comes the sand, beach balls, and sunglasses. But the best part is yet to come—the jingle of an ice cream truck. Yum!
According to previous requeriments, I changed the color scheme for the third and fourth cover.
Final approved cover.
Digby and the Construction Crew
Dump trucks Bruno and Juno are best pals. They’re always together, hauling and dumping, sharing and laughing. Then one day Bruno declares that he can hold more weight than Juno can. The trucks decide to have a competition to see who’s the strongest, but when the contest is over, will they still be friends?
