Bought a pair of butt kickin' boots. NOW I am ready for winter!
Had to put my brochure on hold again for another project. Found
out about a week ago on the SCBWI website that the Bologna Book Fair
is excepting illustrations from members. The submission guidelines include
five illustrations that are related. Oh boy. Maybe is was unrealistic (two
birthdays and Thanksgiving being within my deadline) to try to do this but
I felt like I needed a goal like that to push myself. Still not sure if I will
make it but working like mad.
I am using characters from sketches I already had in the works, so at
least I didn't have to start from scratch.
Here is a rough sketch from the series.
The idea of putting the
lizard in a bonsai came to
me so I sketched this...
transferred my work. Still not totally happy with this one. I like the boy's face
better in the other sketch. (My scanner cut off their thoughts, those will be included
in the final work. Also maybe the scene in the window...and the cute bird.?)
I will show you the final in a couple weeks, sorry I need to work
next weekend so I won't be posting.
Take care and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
