3. Animals Playing Instruments – #kidlitart's Twenty-Eight Day Challenge

The folks over at #kidlitart* wanted to help illustrators find their voices as illustrators, so they set up this challenge.

The idea is to draw something every day for the month of February featuring a theme, creature, idea, character, etc. that you LOVE. 'To illustrate things that you are ALL ABOUT – not just as an artist. As a person. What tickles your fancy? What do you geek out about? What stories would you tell if you just had the chance?'

I've had this idea for a while to illustrate the alphabet with animals playing instruments, since I love art, animals and music. I started out innocently enough, then I got to researching both animals and instruments I've never heard of, and it starts to get really exotic! I am having a lot of fun with this!

Here are the first batch:

ALLIGATOR PLAYING AN ACCORDION



BADGER PLAYING BONGOS



CAPYBARA PLAYING CYMBALS



DIK-DIK PLAYING A DJEMBE
 


ELEPHANT PLAYING AN EUPHONIUM



FERRET PLAYING A FLUGELHORN

  
GOAT PLAYING A GUITAR
 


HEDGEHOG PLAYING A HARMONICA



 AN INDRI PLAYING AN IYA ILU


* #kidlitart is an hour-long Twitter chat on Thursday nights at 8 pm Central, where children's illustrators talk about anything to do with kidlit art.

4. Grandparents and SkADaMo 2014

Over on my blog ( June Goulding ) I'm trying to post a sketch a day as part of Sketch A Day Month, and this couple arrived on my sketch book page.
I think they might qualify as Granparents, so I thought I would share them here as part of our monthly inspiration theme word - Grandparents.

8. "besties" # 1

happy monday!

This little drawing is part of a series we'll call "besties"


Whenever I look at it now, I will remember my seven year olds recent obsession with dance. 
She's especially intrigued with tap, so we did a you tube instructional video, and lots of viewings of "Singing in the Rain". Aaah, the beauty of the internet.
We also discovered Esther Williams, but that's another story....

13. Character sketches


These are sketches for the illustration I'm currently working on.
Humble beginnings.
I love developing characters, and getting their details just right.








Can you guess what time period this is set in?
I'm having fun with this one.

17. Happy Monday!

Here are some sketches of a character that will appear in one of our upcoming books. Isn't he cute? That's all I will say for now, but keep on the lookout for this little guy! This wonderful character is coming alive thanks to our great illustrator, Jennifer Bell.
