Feels like dumb question, but do any of you have a favorite pencil sharper? Keep breaking points. Or could it be the pencils? Idk just very frustrated. WIP inspired by Meatloaf, a rescued Green Sea Turtle at the Aquarium of the Pacific. #sketchbook #illustration #SciArt #kidlitart

Nature art depicting two girls holding hands. There is a tree to the left of them and a yellow plant to the right. The art was made on a stump in the woods using natural material found loose on the ground.
I’m so excited to share some of these originals…but for now, teaser! Peek a boo at the stash of drawings I’ve been building for the past 2-3 years between projects 💚🌈💚

A family of rabbit cozy up in their home, two kids playing cards, a mother knitting, getting a kiss from a father with a mug of cocoa. There's a fireplace with a roaring orange fire flanked by tall stacks of chopped wood. A kitchen with kettle can be seen in the background and a snowglobe with castle rests on the inside window ledge. In fact the whole piece is seen through a window with snow on the ledges where two cardinals hang out. There is also a snow covered evergreen coming into frame and snow gently falls. The inside scene is all warm orange yellow and browns, the framing outside elements are cold purples.

Remembering Hardie Gramatky, American artist, illustrator, and author. He did illustrations for several national magazines and was considered one of America's great watercolorists. LITTLE TOOT (1939) was his first book and is considered a classic. #childrensbooks #picturebooks #kidlitart
A book titled ‘Xolo’ by Donna Barbra Higuera, illustrated by Mariana Ruiz Johnson, is placed against a window. The cover features an illustration of a mythical Aztec God ‘Xolotl’ in a graphic, hand drawn style with bold, solid colors,black line art and simple graphic elements on a dark background.
A spread from the graphic novel ‘Xolo’ that shows the twin Aztec gods- Xolotl on the left page against a black background showing his life in the dark underworld (bats, thorny plants, mushrooms, stars and a frog) while on the right, his brother Quetzalcoatl being glorified on earth against a bright red background (the sun, birds, flowers, fish, a fox and a flowing river).
I finally read Xolo, (by Donna Barbra Higuera), a wonderfully illustrated (by Mariana Ruiz Johnson) graphic novel for young kids.
Really enjoyed this retelling of Aztec mythology around twin brothers who’re gods. 1/3

In a forest at night, three tweens have large purple bowls filled with mushrooms, one red, one blue, one yellow. The are annoyed and anxious approaching a large tree split in three in which is a chimera hag coven. At the base, it is a large yellow cat with red eyes, rising out of its back is a light blue bookcase with long clawed arms coming out of it, and a woman's face in the centre, red hair, yellow eyes with antler like eyelashes, and actual grey antler coming from her head. The bookcase has books on two levels but on the top curved level it has a chalice, wolf skull and purple bird in a cage. On top of the book case is a red woman's head, she looks spaced out, mushrooms, like devil horns sprout from her head. A red arm also comes from the book case, holding a glowing green sphere containing a mushroom jellyfish. Around the orb float little green specks. There are little red mushrooms growing on the bookcase and out of the cat as well.

An early reader comic cover, titled "Frankie and Boo...and the scary house!". It's drawn in a cartoony style and shows a night scene with a shadowed house in the background. The boy in the foreground looks like a young Frankenstein, and is holding a flashlight and facing the right, looking worried. Behind him, a ghost with curly hair is facing the left. He is holding his finger up to his mouth in a gesture to be 'silent'. The word bubble from his mouth floats up to say "...and the scary house" part of the title.
A mirror shows the reflection of a young Frankenstein boy, looking nervous. There is a spider with a crown standing atop the mirror. Next to the mirror illustration, is an illustration of a ghost with curly hair. The ghost is holding a jar of cookies with his back arm, and stuffing a cookie in his mouth with the other hand. The jar lid is glowing and floating above the jar. The text for each character reads: Frankie Stein Jr. is a shy, young monster that hates all things scary. Despite his fear, he tries be brave and confront the ghost in his house (with the help of his trusty flashlight). Frankie likes reading about plants but is too scared to get close to living monster plants. Boo is a very friendly ghost that doesn’t consider himself scary at all. He likes organizing, cleaning and eating the occasional cookie or two. Boo moved out of Ghost Forest and into Frankie’s house because he thinks houses are cooler.
The more I draw this early reader #comic, the more I want to pitch an animated show about them! ♥️
- Monster boy scared of all things spooky? ✔️
- Cute ghost friend obsessed with cookies? ✔️
- A (not-so-scary) haunted house with a new monster friend in each ep? ✔️✔️✔️
