From Illustration For Kids!
New back-page puzzle for Clubhouse Jr….
A slight re-working of an old illustration. I dropped the temperature on the thermometer and added his breath-cloud. Or whatever that’s called.
Don’t go out, little squirrel!
Hi everybody! I have a few things that are out in print this month so I wanted to get them up on the blog.
First up is a spread I did for the Jan-Feb ’13 issue of Chirp magazine. This was a lot of fun to assemble and figure out, to have characters applying and wearing body paint. I learned a lot about the art form just doing research. Some samples of the spread are below. Thank you, Owlkids, for the fun project!
Closer…
Closer again.
A reworking of an image/card from two years ago. This one is on my December promo postcard. Sure is a lot of fun to change this up from time to time and add new angels and animals, etc. My personal favorites are the dog-angel, cat-angel and mouse-angel!
This is the final iteration of a piece I did for Illustration Friday a few weeks back, using the word-prompt “tree”. It went from a boy and dog in a tree, kids in a tree, SNOWmen in a tree, and now back to the first idea. And when I thought THAT was done, I added the boxes, bulbs, and ribbons. I think it’s finished. I have not had the urge to fix or change anything. A good sign! And now I’m using it for one of my Christmas cards this year. Merry Christmas!
Not feeling all that able to draw today. This is kind of what it looks like outside presently, minus the fox.
A very apt Illustration Friday prompt for this week, as the snow begins to fall. Below if my contribution. Check out the others by clicking on the link above!
My warm-up drawing for the day turned into a cookbook cover. I consider it a rough, mock-up. I could tweak, change and alter this thing forever, if I let myself.
…And now I think I need my own cookie fix… : )
AnĀ illustration for Illustration Friday’s word prompt, “Stretch”. These guys are playing some sort snowman’s version of Badminton, me thinks.
Just a little guy I’m working on for something.
Though I grew up in a beach town, I’m not that much of a beach person. On a hot summer day, though, I can see it’s attraction!
I’m working on a couple of dog-themed illustrations lately and thought I’d carry it on over to Illustration Friday. This week’s topic is “suspend”. I liked the idea of doggy acrobats.
