Illustrated novel, part 2

This is part 2 of a series of illustrations that I developed for the book A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle. This is the introduction to chapter 2, with an illustrated capital letter.



I chose to do a starry background, since the novel is science fiction and involves space travel. The manner in which they travel is by tesseract, or a "wrinkle in time." A tesseract involves passing through the fifth dimension; the concept is explained to Meg (and the reader) with the demo of an ant travelling across a string. So, I also included a string to represent the tesseract for the letter illustration.
