Every time it rains, it rains…… pennies from heaven.

Don’t you know each cloud contains…. pennies from heaven.

You’ll find your fortune falling all over town.Make sure that your umbrella is upside down!

Hmmmm…..She doesn’t look like she’s singing the same song as I am! Oh well, it’s still my favorite song!

31. A Break For Owls

I managed to wrap up a huge chunk of Maddy Kettle over the last few weeks by really pushing ahead with it. There is just 10 pages left to ink, so I'm almost there.

But, for the next few days I'm switching gears to work on a small contract for a wonderful new publisher in Australia called Tiny Owl Workshop, contributing some drawings to their first book (like the one above!) and I'll be completing some private commissions and doing some writing.

If you go Inkybook 1 you'll sort of know the story I'm writing as I had bits of it in Inkybook, I called it The Witch Detective there but am now calling it The witches of Bogg Lane and am doing it as a prose story. More on that later.

37. Tomie dePaola Illustrator Award ~The one that ALMOST was and the one that WAS

JacketFlap tags: scbwi, illustration, Uncategorized, animals, mouse, children's illustration, Texas, roberta baird, artwork, houston, a mouse in the house, entry, www.robertabaird.com, tomie depaola award, Add a tag

When the Tomie dePaola Award contest was first announced. I was very excited and filled with ideas. The prompt choices were Tom Sawyer, Little Women and The Yearling.

My first go at it was this one for The Yearling. While I liked working on this, Tomie’s words kept ringing in my ear, “I want to see an image, a style, a vision that I’ve never seen before – all in glorious black and white!”

Hmmm… I will add this to my portfolio but I had another idea. So I ended up submitting the one below. This is my take. I love little furry creatures.

To see the other entries and there are so many fantastic entries, follow the link below!

Watching the detectives.

This is an old illustration that I’ve re-sketched in an effort to hone my new digital pencil skills.

And, yes, I know, I missed a day. But, come on, yesterday was a pretty big deal! I was distracted.

………………

I’ll try to include the list of sketchers on every one of my SkADaMo posts throughout the month. Otherwise, there are no other rules, regulations, themes, daily words, Facebook pages or anything else resembling organization. Just lots of sketching, commenting back and forth and hopefully lots of inspiration and craft honing!

If I forgot anyone, misspelled anyone’s name or any other heinous act was performed, please let me know and I’ll do my best to correct it.

Carry on sketchers!

awesome it looks quite authentic even though it’s digital O_o

Roberta Baird said, on 11/8/2012 8:57:00 AM

I’ve been working on digital penciling as well. Not easy! Santa needs to drop a Cintiq in my stocking.

Linda Silvestri said, on 11/8/2012 10:27:00 AM

Thanks! A bit of tweaking goes on initially, but once you find something you like, brush-wise, it’s all good.

Linda Silvestri said, on 11/8/2012 10:28:00 AM

Oh man, I hear ya! My Wacom has been great, but it’s recently unable to keep up with me. I need to talk to Santa as well, hee hee!

kevinparks said, on 11/8/2012 10:48:00 AM

Have you folks tried Manga Studio? it is so much better to “ink” with than photoshop, way more natural. I have used it a few times and really like it. I used it on the zombie skate deck I did for Abby Zsarnay last year and looks pretty close to real ink on paper. http://kevinparks.com/blog/2012/02/zaces-zombies/

sketched out said, on 11/8/2012 12:16:00 PM

Ooooh, that looks really cool, Kev. But really, I’m more of a pencil gal, even to the point of wanting my digital stuff to look like pencil, heehee.

Kathryn Ault Noble said, on 11/8/2012 1:03:00 PM

Nicely done, Linda! Does not look digital at all, not easy. Over the years teaching digital painting, I built several pencils I liked fairly well in Photoshop and Painter, but for the last year I have gone back to REAL pencils. Nothing comes close, at least to me. And then there is at least a pencil original to sell.

Kathryn Ault Noble said, on 11/8/2012 1:05:00 PM

Oh, and thank you very much for linking our blogs here! And stopping by with your gracious comments.

Alison Hertz said, on 11/8/2012 5:56:00 PM

Linda, I love the cat and mouse!

I use digital pencil and an airbrush with shades of grey a lot for sketching on my ipad with Sketchbook Pro. I haven’t used Photoshop enough yet to be comfortable with it but I’m watching Will Terry videos to learn it.

sketched out said, on 11/10/2012 12:35:00 PM

Thanks Alison! I haven’t tried sketching on the iPad yet. Will Terry’s videos are great for learning about digital painting. Good for you!

It's been ages since I participated on Illustration Friday. So long that I didn't even know they had changed and updated their website!

I decided to do a little sketch for this week's theme: Mirror.
It's always wonderful to see how a new dress fits, isn't it? :o)
