This is the last double spread, when (spoiler!) Chloe and Veronica find out they have a lot in common, including their mutual dislike of Fabrizio (who scooped the unicorn prize) and decide that being friends is better.


It took me ages to get it right. First, because I wanted to show a bird’s eye view of their town and the theatre where the competition took place. I wanted to show Veronica’s castle, the two characters being friends, and Fabrizio going away with the prize, flying to


the moon in E.T. style. That was a lot to fit in one illustration, plus, I’m not the best at drawing perspectives! In the end I gave up on the perspective and just drew a section of the castle very big in the foreground and it worked. I’m happy at how it turned out and I still love this illustration.
