Finished piece for Vintage Book Week. I am very late to the challenge but I still wanted to give it a go!
Based on the story published in 1948, this is the cover redone in my style.
Painted w/ gouache, colored pencil, & finished on my iPad 🐻

Happy Kid Lit Art Postcard day!
This piece was illustrated with my daughter, Alice in mind. She has that exact bunny that she’s slept with since she was old enough to have a stuffy in her crib with her.
Plus it’s fun to spot all of the bunnies! 🐇

Had to try drawing an elephant rolling down a hill recently which felt extremely challenging. Ended up being one of my favorite poses to draw!

I penciled in sketches with my favorite pencil in Carmine Red, then traced over it with a red ink fountain pen. This combo really scratched something in my brain. What’s your favorite sketchbook tool combo?

A peek into what I’m working on right now.
We are doing a 1920s theme and her in my Patreon and I love how this illustration is coming together. She looks like a vintage paper doll.

Thank you! I am going to try to participate
haha! yah I moved on, I could see how it applied to the dragon/wyvern scenario but the way it was worded just felt so jarring. 😂
Almost done with reading Onyx Storm. She literally just said “we’re cooked” what is this Gen Alpha? There are so many little moments like this in the book that just throws me out of the story. 🫠

I’ve never heard of this before? What day does it officially fall on?

These were so fun to illustrate! I gave them all a valentines vibe since we’ve got that coming up faster than I am ready for.
