Printed, trimmed, and all set to show! Pretty proud of this curation, especially considering how spread-out I am — not always working on kid-lit-related material.
This is just too sad. I often joke that if something isn't on my calendar, it no longer exists. This is apparently true of this Streak. For the past weeks, I had neglected to put StreakClub on my calendar — and promptly forgot all about it! The habit of working on projects has been sustained, however, and since I haven't yet let a month go by, I'm counting this as a win.
I've begun illustrating a poem written by a co-worker. It's been a good exercise in color theory and experimentation. I'll give you only a sneak peek for now!
It is done.
Almost there!
More.
Daily inks.
I've just been sketching this week. Not working toward anything big and exciting.
Finished a book I've been illustrating for what seems like 5ever. Great fun with character design, I'll have to put some images up on my website but for now they're just on Behance. This is just one page from the book.
((I also completed a children's book this week. Feels good, man))
Submitted this puppy to the first ever Narrative Art Award for SCBWI. Blog post about this project coming this Saturdayyyy! (www.artfularmadillo.com)
Tweaks here and there, but I do b'leev we're [mostly] done!
Almost there.
When I forget to write this down, I forget to send anything in.
Opal just wanted some pastries. She didn't want to deal with this today.
What's happening in this bakery?
Dilemma, conflict, resolution. Feelin' it out this time with the big blackboard in my room so I can stare at and contemplate it from my bed.
This turned out so cute. I don't really like drawing people like I do animals, but it's nice to stretch those muscles sometimes. Tombow pencils and Pentel colored pencil!
I hoped to be finished by tonight, but I wasn't. Distracted. No good. Better tomorrow!
Deciding on a few things...putting off choices...values to be tweaked here and there...but 80% finished!
Busted out the ol' light box to transfer the sketch to the final 8 x 10" paper.
The internet was not fantastic at the Marriott, so take a late submit.
This was my second conference and once again I learned so much. This year I participated in the Portfolio Showcase. I made myself proud!
It's nice to sit and reflect for a moment on where you're at.
