Pop! goes Easter

    Last Saturday I was cleaning like Housewife Dementia
(my friend Krissy's alter ego) and neglected to post.  Here is
a little belated apology in the form of a Easter card sketch I 
did on Easter Monday...
    When I create a character sketch I have been drawing 
that character in different poses.  This is an important element 
in children's book illustration. 
Check out the what is going on at the little girl's feet!  
Another fun technique to use in illustration is to have a "secondary story".  
I wanted to add color, it being spring and Easter, 
but my time has been devoted to working on print patterns. 
(You may be interested to know her dress is a jelly bean 
print, which may be hard to tell without color.)

The color addition will have to go on the back burner until next year I suppose.
Hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!
