It takes restraint not to re-post everything Jillian writes on her blog over here. But take a moment to check out her advice on drawing animals in this post – “There is no formula to trick to drawing animals, or anything else for that matter. Only observation (ideally from life) and practice will give you a fundamental understanding of structure and form.”
Check Jillian’s illustration gallery here to see how uses animals in her illustrations regularly to evoke motion and emotion to great effect.

Parents and teachers will love.... The Anna Mae Mysteries by
Lillian Cauldwell.
Lillian writes with a voice that speaks to the rich imagination of a
child. A ten year old child's mind plays tricks. She fears dark
places in buildings where the grown-ups are not, because she
believes in ghosts and apparitions, and squeaking, creaking things
that could be a monster spider's joints. Yet, she yearns to find
buried treasure, or to make headlines in a good way, or to improvise
and solve a mystery. One example of masterly "childlike" problem
solving is the use of coat hangers as divining rods.... Dowsing is
such a cool thing for children! Vivid images strike a chord in my
memory, and linger in my mind of the phantom fist, the schoolyard
bully, the horror in the air ducts, the dusty, thirsty hard work
of digging in the fruit cellar... for buried gold. It's "real",
it's delightfully scary in the way of all good and gripping
page-turners, but it's not frightening. Perhaps Lillian's writing
is so believable, and so immediate because Lillian pays attention
to details - such as the ring on fourth finger of ghostly black fist.
Parents and teachers will love Lillian's writing, too, not only because
the children will be immediately engaged by the mystery, but because
of the tie-in with history, including Jefferson Davis and Georgia's
exciting past. Lillian Cauldwell is a splendid storyteller, and my
child and I are eagerly looking forward to the next gripping tale
in the series!"

This sounds like a wonderful book. I love a child's imagination and I love children's books that explore it. I am putting this on my Goodreads to read list.
I want to thank you, Lillian, for the great information you provided about yourself and your book. It was a pleasure being your host for the week.
Karen
To all my readers: Please be sure to check out the Virtual Book Tours schedule that I will be posting here this weekend. It will have all the guests and hosts for our December 01, 2008 tour.

What I learned...
Doodle silhouette exercise from drawing book. Very fun!And, I love my 120 color pencil set! I can't stress enough the importance of good materials for artists. Having the full set I can soar! Here's my work in progress. It's my IF submission, but it isn't done yet--the rest is MISSING! The tag line is "A good indication you are off your path is the absence of joy." Here's Foxy in her anxious mood. She always grabs for BLUE TOY. I will post the finished piece next time...
I love my Foxy girl. With all those pencils I can properly "paint" all the colors I see. Stay tuned for the finished picture.
And, I am learning a big lesson on the emotional level. I am a mom to a big family. That responsibility takes up much of my energy. It is a constant balance between taking care of everyone--as a mom, a healer and an artist, and taking care of my own needs. I need to give myself credit for all that I DO do. And as an empath, I need space to hear and sort out what is mine and what is others. I realized that writing and drawing IS my meditation. It is a way to give me that space, hear myself, and engage in my passions. I am seeing when I do not create, I don't have the space, I don't take the time to hear myself and my needs, I am one nasty little fairy. :)

This was my IF submission. I am happy to say I'm developing a love for color pencil with ink. Ah, so lovely to find your style.

I may be a crappy art student.
Let me explain. I'm taking a color pencil drawing class. It's really geered to beginners and here I have 17 years experience making some form of art since college. The teacher is a great artist, just very realistic. I, on the other hand, am a whimsical nut. He said my style was very "graphic." My mind immediately went to the subject of naked people. I guess I'm very commercial. Anyway, it IS hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Problem is the teacher has his style and ways of drawing, and I of course, after many years, have my own style. I also don't like to do realistic. Realistic and perfect and just like the picture was way back during custom portrait days. Now I'm more into expression. It's frustrating. I just want to let loose and explore color. The teacher said I was a "free spirit." I've always been such a good girl and rules-oriented so I had to laugh. We will see it this is a good idea for me or not to continue.
Above are my cute little color pencil spots. Yeah, I guess I am very graphic.

We are having our mega yard sale. Sorting through the boxes, I found tons of old art pieces I did. I like this early color pencil piece. Like most of my work, it's filled with symbolism and signs! I consider TURTLE my totem animal or sign. I could learn so much from TURTLE: Patience (I think 2006 was the year I must have asked to learn patience!), HAVING A THICK SHELL (I'm so open most the time), and TAKING IT EASY! I'll probably offer this piece on my ETSY Store.

This book sounds delightful and so does Lillian. Thanks for telling us about it.
Shari
The more I read about Lilian's book the more I look forward to reading it. Thanks Karen for sharing with us this interesting book and author.
Joy aka Zebee, or is it the other way around?
I believe that Lillian's book will be available very soon. I hope others will agree that it would make an excellent Christmas gift!
Best wishes,
Rowena Cherry
Good morning:
This is Lillian Cauldwell.
Thank you for participating in The Anna Mae Mysteries: The Golden Treasure blog tour.
Anna Mae, Raul, and Malcolm appreciate it very much. Anna Mae is now listed on Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Star Publish LLC.
Book II of the series is:
The Anna Mae Mysteries: Solomon's Ark
Three 'tween sneaker-toe sleuths find Solmon's lost ark while being chased by the dethrowned Emperor of Ethiopia and his two sons.
Best,
Lillian Cauldwell
Mysteries, young and strong characters, these are just two things that compel me to place Lillian's book in my must buy list.
Mysteries spark that necesary 'get your braincells working' energy in kids that I love to see in my own children. We are big on mysteries and from the review I just know I'll enjoy the book.
Lillian, your book sounds wonderful. Thank you for bringing attention to it, Karen.
