I took his wish seriously and decided to separate the two with a different color palette.
When I illustrated Love You Forever I was mindful that the sentiment of the story could be overwhelming if I used candy colors with a lot of pink; therefore, I used a cool palette of mainly blues.

My next debate was which medium to use: watercolor and Prismacolor pencil, thinned oils as washes, pastel, or marker with pencil or pen and ink.

With the deadline looming, I opted for a combination of pastel, marker and Prismacolor pencil. Laying down washes of color and adding detail with pencil achieved the soft and sweet, gentle effect I was aiming for.
