Description Character Designs of those lovely animals from The Wind in the Willows.
This is concept work for the Penguin/Puffin design award, but you won’t actually see the cover for a little while, or at least not till the deadline.

I have always wanted to draw a fat badger and now my dreams have finally been realized!!
Oh and Mole.. you are too cute!

Thank you Mr.
I wish I could have spent more time on this project, I had to rush the cover to fit it in. (as well as rush these designs to be honest)

Im glad you do! I intially didnt want to do this project, because I thought I didnt like the book, but when I read it- I did!
Its so 'english'- People must think all we do is have picnics and sleep! hehe

LOL! I'm glad you did the project. I only vaguely remember the Disney cartoon about Wind in the Willows... (Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is the best ride at Disney Land though!)

I LOVE stuff that is 'so English' though so now I can't wait to read it!

I have never even seen the Disney version- or been on the ride.
I think you will really like the book, its very 'lovely'
