I have always had an appreciation for fine art. Art isn't widely touched upon, or at least not to my knowledge, in YA fiction.īasically all of my stories begin as a "what if?" In the first "what if" regarding Drawn, and since I'm an amateur artist myself, I just sat around thinking what would happen if sketched pictures were to move and come alive kind of like that 1980's music video for Aha's Take On Me? And what would happen to the sketches if I closed the book and they descended into their own world? How did I concoct the concept for the book Drawn?Īt the time I generated the idea for Drawn, I hadn't seen or read any stories of or relating to art. I wanted to write a story that had art as the centerpiece, the interplay of art and the artist. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. To save her, he must draw himself into the book. Cameron now has twenty days to extract Farrah. Farrah is now in grave danger because the sketch he drew of her sucked her real-life’s soul into the sketchbook. He nearly jumps from his skin when the sketch moves and communicates with him. To impress Farrah, Cameron sketches her portrait into a mysterious sketchbook. Following a tense run-in with Farrah’s father, she forbids Cameron to speak to her again, but Cameron’s convinced there’s more behind the request. After several warm interactions with Farrah, including painting together at the beach, Cameron discovers just how complex Farrah’s life is. Cameron hopes he can win her heart through art. That, and for Farrah Spangled to view him as more than just a friend. Caught between the sweltering fall landscape of Wilmington, NC beaches and southern illusions and expectations, all sixteen year-old Cameron Shade thinks about is art.
