I've chosen the children's book assignment...in a way. I won't be using the title they suggested but bring a project I've had on the back burner for about 5 years. It's a perfect opportunity to develop the idea further and get professional advise on both the artwork and the story. I've been trying to develop a style for this book....somewhere between realistic and illustrative, captivating life and energy of my subject. Here is my first attempt. I think I need to work on making her look younger, but I'm somewhat happy with her character. I think I might leave the oils home this time too and use my trusty watercolors and colored pencils. My title for the book is:
"My Magic Doo-dah"

I just read about IMC in International Artist and thought it sounds like an amazing opportunity. Lucky you! And I love your character, that face looks like she's got something hidden up her sleeve. Love the title too. :)
Fantastic Kim! What a gorgeous drawing. I just love your lines and style. Beautiful marks : )
Thank you Crystal and Kim. I appreciate your encouragement.
Enjoy! Be sure and tell Mo Willems that this librarian can't keep his books on the shelf. One student was very upset because a teacher had all the Elephant & Piggie books checked out for her class! lol
HEY Sheri. So good to see you here. I will make sure to pass on your comments to Mo. I understand he is hilarious in person. And Adam Rex is off the charts quirky. Should be a great week. Thanks for stopping by.
