I recently finished a new book, Pirate’s Lullaby- Mutiny at Bedtime, written by Marcie Wessels (Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2015).
Here are a few early pics of the process…sketches, etc.

| Pencil sketches for pirate boy character. |
 |
| Sketches for pirate dad character. |
 |
| Very rough pirate heads for reference (super sculpey). |

| A final illustration spread with reference sheets. |
 |
| Everything is started but a lot of painting ahead. Oil paint on canvas (acrylic underpainting). |
I can’t wait until next year’s Talk Like a Pirate Day.
