Critters have feelings....at least in my imagination.
In children's book illustration , characters that
evoke emotion are essential...

and charcoal pencils.)

Well, I had thoughts of and ideas for a new illo for this week's Illustration Friday topic, but it just wasn't meant to be. Here's one from last year.

My son was writing a science fairy tale yesterday. He based it on Goldilocks. This got me thinking (finally, it's been awhile). I filled several pages of my sketchbook with Goldilocks sketches. Here you see a progression of the Baby Bear character. He starts out too tall, and too old. Next he has more babiness to him. Finally, we see him in action. It's good to be back. I've had a real dry spell on ideas this summer. Drawing has been a struggle. Hope this streak lasts.
Breathtaking! I love the way you've done the forest, it's so magical! I'd best get back to finishing my penguins...xx
Simplismente lindo!
