Making some good #kidlitprogress this week: fresh art for a character who had grown stale (and is now MUCH more fun to draw!) plus drafts of two new stories for favorite characters who have been waiting patiently in the wings. :-)

A selection of collage armadillos of various colours.
Bringing this back from last year (I think)!
Some of my very first armadillo collage experiments. I've now made a whole PB sub with my collage armadillo, and it started here! 🎨📚

Pencil sketch of a picture book spread: anthropomorphic characters respond to a crisis involving baby bees.
Coming along . . . Slowly.

(Hoping to re-establish this hashtag, b/c I need a cheering section--and an occasional swift kick--to stay in gear!)
Who else is struggling to set priorities and follow through?

Before I take a breather from the current #WIP, I'm determined to get a couple of portfolio pieces out of it--the first one is going okay so far. The good news is, after several years with this character, I know her pretty well . . . #kidlitprogress #kidlit #picturebook #illustration

I have no idea where I'm going with this final chapter of the GN-ish thing. Just writing along, hoping I see a light in the distance soon. #kidlit #kidlitprogress #amwriting

Character sketch with notes on dimensions, etc.
After too many years (years!) drawing this character, I finally did a reference sheet. I know, I know. #kidlitprogress #characterdesign #illustration

Apropos of last night's #kidlitchat topic, I have reached exhaustion level with the current #wip , but I need to wrap it up before I can move on.
Slogging forward, one spread at a time!

#dailydozen is a summer writing/creative challenge by @andrewchacket.bsky.social
everyday for 12 minutes: write/draw whatever. You can usually squeeze 12 productive minutes into a busy day. I'm using it on my WIPs that are on my back burner. Good luck with your projects. #kidlitprogress

The sketch dummy is done, except for a cover image. I've reached the stage where the whole project seems trite and overworked--hoping that's just mental exhaustion, lol. #kidlitprogress

Welp. I submitted the #tree WIP, along with thumbnails and an older sketch (don't judge, I was up against a deadline!). I'm presenting it to two agents on the same weekend in July, so I hope this basket is big enough for all the eggs! #kidlitprogress #illustration #picturebook

LOTS of #kidlitprogress since last week, but nothing to show. :-/ The #tree story is just about ready to submit. The #tree itself is coming along . . . slowly. #kidlit #illustration #picturebook

Really, really rough sketch of a tree with LOTS of leaves, and a small home for my MC.
I promised a #sketch. It may not look like anything yet, but it's a #tree. Or will be. #kidlitprogress #illustration

You're braver than me (and probably more patient). I'm still using PS7--which I OWN, thank you very much. No monthly subscription! #kidlitprogress
