Illustration for a book cover. The title says: Memoirs of a (brave) cat. The word brave has been added with some tape. There is a cat in the front wearing a cape, behind him 3 other cats are hiding in some bushes, one of them is waving a stick with a fake spider hanging from it.

For the final prompt of #summerfolio I chose to do a book cover, would you like to read Merlin’s memoirs?😆

I’m very happy that I could go through all the prompts🎉 the challenge was fun and useful and it was great to draw my cats again, thanks @olgaherrera.bsky.social 💕

And the final prompt! “It was difficult to be brave in this situation.” I wanted to add a small comic here in watercolor. I’ve been working on graphic novel work so I need more samples in my portfolio. This was fun @olgaherrera.bsky.social

The prompt this week “Grocery shopping was 9@66i3’s favorite adventure” for #summerfolio and I’m actually kind of exhausted by it. 😂 I think it needs another round in the critique group. I also kind of like it. @olgaherrera.bsky.social

An illustration of 3 anthro cat kids playing on the grass. The two older ones are next to bits of rope and scissors and looking surprised as a teddy tied to a skateboard heads towards the road. The younger cat is looking desperately at her teddy. The text says: OH NO! Anaka’s teddy was headed towards the road!

OH NO! Charlie’s young pet Dire wolf was headed towards the road! (Or mammoth steppe 😂 kinda of a prehistoric road right?)

Down the rabbit hole I went for this prompt!

@olgaherrera.bsky.social ‘s #summerfolio

An unfinished sketch of a child and her dog in a hot air balloon about to crash land in a road, scattering fearful pedestrians.

I didn’t get it done in time for the challenge, but I did get it started! I have been told I need MG covers in my portfolio, so this challenge is helping me get there.Thanks @olgaherrera.bsky.social for #SummerFolio week 2 “Oh no! Charlie’s balloon was headed toward the road!” #kidlit #kidlitart

I am working on some of the prompts for Summer Folio! An event by @olgaherrera.bsky.social .✨ Trying my best to have a chance for portfolio review! This is my take on the first prompt: When in doubt, just add more water! 🤭
#summerfolio #kidlitart #illustration #picturebook

A double page illustration of four anthro cats arriving to a beach. The text says “After a long and hot trip, they finally arrived…“ Two cats are sitting on a bench, one of them is looking at the water, the other looking opposite and holding a selfie stick. Another cat is sitting on the floor and looking exhausted, the last one is on top of a bench with her arms up in excitement. We can see the beach in the background.

Hi! Here’s my take on the first prompt of #summerfolio: When in doubt, just add more water! A very interesting challenge by @olgaherrera.bsky.social

Doing my #summerfolio sketch, this looks good in my head so I hope it looks good finished #kidlitart

Looking for inspiration for my illustration for week 4 of #summerfolio I found this picture. Here I was 10 years old (black shirt) and my brother (blue shirt) was 6 years old, we were in Margarita and it was the last days of vacation before I started 7th grade.

where is the pink? #summerfolio #kidlitart #picturebook

To Alex, this spelled trouble. This is my work for #summerfolio week 3
