I've started working on the illustrations for a new childrens' book at the end of December, and work continues apace. But even though it's early days, I'm beginning to struggle with the subject matter.
The problem is I need to draw a fair few different animals but they must meet a series of quite stringent criteria:
- Must have an exclusive or near exclusive diet
- Cannot eat frogs
- Cannot be a creature that frogs eat (flies, worms etc)
- Cannot eat flies or fly-like bugs or things that frogs eat (worms, slugs etc)
- Must be a natural diet not like 'Dogs eat dogfood' or 'Mice eat cheese'
I thought it'd be quite easy to think of lots but having done a few I'm at a loss now.
