Art Order Nymph Sketches

Here are a couple of sketches for Art Order's Nymph Challenge.  I hope I will get to finish one of them on time. :)  The first one is a Naiad with some admiring Kappas and the second is a thirsty Dryad.

Unfinished Holiday Card, Yay!

I didn't have time to finish it so here is an exclusive preview of a possible Holiday card that may or may not be ready for 2013.  :)

WIP for Letter I

Here is a work in progress for Letter I. I originally intended to paint the whole book in watercolor but I wanted to do a test page digitally to see if I like it painted this way better. I am faster, better and more comfortable working digitally but I love watercolor too. Argh! Still need to finish up the imp, the foreground, and genie smoke. Letter G is all set up for watercolor but I haven't had time. :)

New B Sketch and J, K, L, T and Title Page Updates

I redesigned the B page so you can see the brownie better and I updated a bunch of other pages with some value.

You can see the whole book dummy here:

ABC Book Dummy

Title page creatures are an Alkonost, a Basilisk, and a Cadejo.

Still debating whether I should watercolor the whole book or do it in photoshop.  :(

New Website Up and Some Sketches

I made a new website and it finally is up. Let me know if anything is not working or spelled incorrectly.
NEW SITE
Also here is some more Day of the Dead sketches.

Recess

Illustration for the Recess contest for SCBWI Illustrator's Day. I didn't win but I had a good time. :)

You had to include apples, buffalo, telescope, blanket and hay and the theme was Recess.

Happy Day of the Dead

The back of the postcard. I will take Dad off the stamp spot when I print it. :)

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween and an early Happy Day of the Dead!

Day of the Dead Postcard Sketch

I am going to SCBWI Illustrator's Day and I want to have a postcard take away with my portfolio. Hopefully I can finish it and have time to get it printed. :) 

Color Studies for G

Here are some color studies for Letter G and a close-up of the final drawing on watercolor paper. I originally wanted the color scheme of B but now I am leaning toward A. Let me know what you think. :)

Warthog and Pepper and Advice from a Cobra Sketch

Here is a finished spot illustration for Alice in Wonderland (baby turns into a pig from Pig and Pepper) and a sketch for Advice from a Cobra.

Revised Alice in Wonderland

I retouched some of my Alice in Wonderland work and I did a new spot sketch and a facial expressions page for Alice. I am working on my children's book portfolio.  :)
