here is a smaller size version of my FIRST entry to they draw and cook. it is for a contest entitled cooking 4 kids
http://www.theydrawandcook.com/cooking-4-kids-contest
as soon as i came across this contest a week or so ago, i knew had to give it a shot. with two other deadlines looming at the time, there was still no stopping me. i have been wanting to illustrate a recipe for the longest time now so this was the perfect opportunity.
i knew i wanted it to be easy to read, easy to follow, cute and most importantly healthy. so i figured with fall right around the corner....why not do something with pumpkins (which i love)!
i took my sweet little character pippa, some pumpkins, an easy recipe...and a cute little crow and voila...pippa's pumpkin smoothie!
i just submitted it to they draw and cook so i'm waiting to see how it looks once they review it nad post it on their site. SUPER EXCITED!!!

Post Halloween exhaustion! Candy crash! A new portfolio piece! Again, this one's pencil and digital. My confidence with this process is really growing. I've said it before but I have to say it again, this process really helps me do the exact kind of pictures I want. I've always wanted to be able to produce work that shows my drawing prominently but is richly coloured. I couldn't fully pull this off using ink and watercolour or pencil and watercolour because the paint would inevitably hide much of my linework. This has been driving me crazy for years. So, this is closer to what I've had in my head.
What I do is; take these very finished pencil drawings and scan them in. I rework them extensively on the Cintiq using Photoshop (CS4). Reworking the black and white drawing. Mainly I lighten it up with white lines. Part of my preferred technique has always been to go too dark in the initial drawing and then recover the highlights. In the past I've white ink, gouache or acrylic to achieve this. It's much easier using the Cintiq and very easy to correct. I also play with curves quite a bit to get the exposure just right.
I than duplicate the background drawing in another layer and set the blending option to multiply (I think... ) All the colour work is sandwiched between the two layers. This method keeps the colour beneath the linework, so that nothing gets lost beneath the colouring. It's like having two layers of clear paper and the line drawing is sitting on top of the colours, if that makes sense. (I use a lot more than two layers but you get the idea) Each layer of colour is set to a different opacity, I'm going for a slightly washed out look, not overly intense but with moments of richness. This process is just an extension of my traditional work so the learning curve has been pretty gentle.
And if you're wondering this is a bit of an homage to Maurice Sendak.

Trick or Treat!!!
It’s after midnight, which means it’s officially October 31st. Happy Halloween! May your day be filled with pumpkins, treats, and people wearing interesting costumes. One of my favorite Halloween treats is roasted pumpkin seeds. YUM! If you’ve never made them before, here’s a recipe so you can try it this year. Pumpkin seeds are great to snack on while watching Halloweenie movies and TV shows, like It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Corpse Bride, Hocus Pocus, Sean of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, or Nightmare Before Christmas.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Step One: Obtain pumpkin(s). Decorate or wait to carve them (I painted one of mine this year).
pumpkins!
Step Two: Put down newspaper. Get out carving tools and a large bowl to put the seeds in.
preparing for the pumpkin massacre
Step Three: Cut off top (or bottom) of pumpkin and separate the seeds from the gook.
we have seeds!
Step Four: Grease a cookie sheet with a coat of non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Pour un-rinsed seeds* on to cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 250 degrees, stirring the seeds occasionally. Bake until golden brown and no longer wet. I usually taste them to make sure they are done. You should be able to smell them baking. *You can rinse the seeds if you want, but they have more pumpkin flavor if you don’t rinse them.
roasted pumpkin seeds - yum!
Step Five: Eat and enjoy. 
Happy Halloween everyone!!
Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch was quite successful this year. We came home with a Suburban-load of pumpkins...some for us to paint, carve, and admire, and some to sell.
Here's Bubs...
Welly always finds her 'perfect little pumpkin' that can't be carved or in any way defiled.
Daddy found one to his liking, too. (When I asked him if I could post this picture, he said, "If it makes you happy." Isn't he great?)

A local church in the center of town has an annual Pumpkin Patch sale for the kiddies.
Yesterday was a clear, beautiful Fall day and the pumpkins beckoned me.

The Very Best Pumpkin by Mark Kimball Moulton, illustrated by Karen Hillard Good
This is a great fall story that focuses not on Halloween, but on pumpkins and autumn. It is a story about how one perfect pumpkin can create a new friend. Peter lives with his grandparents on Pumpkin Hollow Farm. They grow different crops other times of the year, but in the fall they specialize in pumpkins. Peter helps care for the pumpkins throughout the summer. One day when out in the field, he noticed a vine that went out of the field. Following it, he found a pumpkin all by itself. He started taking care of that pumpkin too. Nearby, a girl, Meg, moved into a new home and noticed Peter caring for his special pumpkin. But she stayed out of sight so he wouldn’t notice her. Peter also thought that no one was seeing him and his pumpkin. When it was time to harvest the pumpkins, Peter offered his special pumpkin to Meg and they both realized that this one secret pumpkin had already made them friends.
Moulton portrays an idyllic farm life in this book. Peter does work hard and diligently throughout the summer, so children will see that farming and growing plants does take time and care. There are several touches that make this book work very well. One is that the pumpkin is not the largest, but a special one that is perfectly round. Another is that there are wonderful moments in the text where pumpkins and autumn are dwelled on. The prose fills out with descriptions of the vines, the growing pumpkins, and the joy of the harvest.
Good’s illustrations bring a winning element to the book. Her illustrations are done on paper that is wonderfully splotched and textured, creating a real feeling of autumn as well as intriguing textures. On top of this interesting background, her illustrations are done in crisp black outlines and warm earthy colors. The friendly characters pop against the very natural feel of the book.
A great addition to fall story times and units, this book celebrates autumn in all of its colors. Appropriate for ages 4-6.

Happy post-Halloween!
I hope everyone out there had a good one, with more giggles than tears. My kids are old enough that the holiday has lost some of the magic it once had, but also most of the headaches. This enables me to be Wise and Knowing about the holiday and to offer you a list of the resolutions I've made over the years regarding costumes and pumpkins. You can make the same ones for next year if things haven't gone smoothly at your house this year. (In the spirit of full disclosure I will note that I rarely managed to keep my resolutions the next year, but still...)
Alternatively, you can just indulge a few moments of feeling like a Halloween pro compared to me.
Resolution Number 1 I will be accepting of my child's costume choices.
...even if that means that Child A in the photo above chooses at the last minute to wear her big brother's tattered bat costume from the year before after I've spent weeks crafting a lovely, feminine Butterfly Fairy costume from yards of tulle and sequins and glitter. Even though I have been dying for a dose of girly after two boys, and even though all her friends are outfitted in tutus and tiaras, and even though she will then insist on wearing the bat costume daily right through the Christmas holidays when every other little girl we know is wearing velveteen and tights and sparkly hair bows.
...even if that means that Child B wants to be a praying mantis, a costume you cannot possibly buy ready-made and that is also insanely tricky to make and that absolutely no one can tell what it is. I will recognize that being unidentifiable is part of the appeal for some children and I will graciously make him a "black hole" costume the following year even though it is even more unidentifiable.
...even if Child C takes one look in the mirror, scares himself, and insists I wash off all his ghost make-up after I've spent nearly an hour carefully applying it to his directions and we are already running late for the school Halloween parade.
Resolution Number 2 I will remember th

This is a blast from the past, 1995 to be precise. When John managed Lode they used to make flyers to get people to come to their gigs. This was for Halloween and I turned each person from the band into a pumpkin :) Inara George was the lone girl in the band and she is the SKINNY pumpkin and all the rest are the boys: Gabe Cowan, Robin Moxey and Lon Baker. Sometimes the bands artist friends would make the flyers and sometimes John would come knocking on my door to ask if I could crank out a quick flyer to advertise the band and I would happily make art for the group. We did lots of them :) I kept them all because they were so talented and I knew they would make it and they have, just not together. Good Times. This incorporates Halloween and skinny in one fell swoop for Illustration Friday's "skinny" theme. Here is Lode courtesy of Geffen Records.

The Library Lady sings The Pumpkin Song, a sweet, simple song used with success for library storytimes. She also posted pumpkin photos, including one of her fabulous display board. Thank you, Library Lady!As a memory jog, Lucia sang a Jack-o-Lantern song for this blog last year. I've linked that as well.
I decided that a black dog for Halloween might be an interesting change from the usual black cat. I might have to tell a story about this puppy. It also fits the “autumn” prompt for the CBIG blog this month.
Autumn leaves and Halloween pumpkins
I sincerely apologize about not participating as often as I'd like. I am learning so much from you all but my absence is really for a great cause. In September I enrolled in college to earn my BFA. I am having lots of fun but it's also a lot of work. However, my goal is still to become a children's book illustrator so I'll be here. Just not as much as I'd like.
This is a 15-minute sketch of a pumkin man. Every time I thought about WatercolorWednesdays this man kept popping in my head so I did the next logical thing and put him to paper. Sorry he's not painted but I have to edit my 1200-word research paper that is due tomorrow. I never thought I'd be writing so much while earning a BFA degree but we learn something new every day, don't we.
Until next time...

Apples for Everyone by Jill Esbaum
Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin, Pie by Jill Esbaum
Celebrate the fall season with this pair of book from National Geographic Kids. Both book have simple text just right for beginning readers combined with vivid photographs. In Apples, readers follow apples from blossom to harvest to different uses. Mouths will be watering at the caramel apples, applesauce and cider. In Pumpkin, readers get to see the pumpkins grow on the vine, turn orange, and be made into pies, jack-o-lanterns, and even boats. Yes, boats. The photographs feature children of different ethnicities, which is wonderful to see in nonfiction titles.
Esbaum’s photographs steal the show here with their crisp focus, bright colors and interesting compositions. But her text is not to be ignored. Her words add context and detailed information that make the photographs even more interesting.
Perfect to expand your fall seasonal shelves, these books come paperback bound so buy a bushel.

Happy October - fun topics this month :) I’m in a Halloweeny kind of mood already! Here's my pumpkin madness painting. It's mostly watercolor, with a bit of acrylic and pencil too.

Many thanks to Sam Riddleburger and Cece Bell for their pumpkin carving tutorial. Bede used a dry-wall saw to carve this jack-'o-lantern, whom he has named "Isabelle":
Last year, my daughter learned this song at her school, which she sang after we lit the jack-o'-lantern and turned out all the lights:
Jack-'o-lantern, Jack-'o-lantern

After a while every children's librarian suffers the effects of Alphabet Book Overdose. We here at the Donnell Central Children's Room have found that it's easy to deflect this sometimes fatal disease by restricting all alphabet titles to a single location in the library, thereby reducing their lethal propensities. Oh, one seems fine. But before you know it you read another... and another... and another ... Then the next thing you know you're flat on your back in an unfamiliar E.R. while the doctor attempts to bring you back to reality by asking how many fingers she's holding up (counting books have been found to significantly reduce the more dangerous properties of alphabet titles, it seems).
Now, however, there's a whole new game in town. Why not avoid books altogether and go the packaged meat route? Yum. Fry me up a load of Ms and Qs when you get a chance.
Thanks to Eric Berlin for the link.
