Perfectly Polite Penelope - Banner

An author’s ode to her granddaughter …

Young Penelope exhibites a passion for the ‘polite’, a joy in developing friendships, and an uncanny understanding of potential dangers. Presented here in poetic prose, the author hopes  to encourage other little ones to follow Penelope’s lead.

Illustrator’s Notes:
The artworks for ‘Perfectly Polite Penelope’ were created from scratch with digital pencils, brushes and blenders in Affinity Photo using a Wacom tablet and pen. Below is a selection of pages which I think show the remarkable ability of this program to render beautiful portraiture.

NOTE: Feeling a need to say, ‘AI’ was NOT used to create any of this content.
