Good Ol' Family!

Designed an 8 year old girl character for a grade 3 storybook I'm illustrating. She gets all the girlie accessories from fluffy slippers to hearts on her duvet. There's the family puppy, too - cute and brown and endearing. Mom and Dad are warm and caring and there are two older brothers as well. Nice set of dynamics there. I look forward to colouring these but have the remaining pencils to finish. Including the...dreaded...family...on...the...ferry sketch. Aaaaargh. The detail. Finicky, finicky, finicky. Shortcuts will just look awful. Being the perfectionist that I am (selectively, anyway), I'm just gonna have to see this puppy to the end. Details an' all.

A Slice of Fun

Here's the cover of the catalogue of images for kids to colour in. Pardon the morbid dark background on the cake but it's the only folder I had on hand. Since most of the colouring in will be done at kids' parties, I thought it was novel to do a slice o' cake and candle.
Haul out those paint kits and have some fun, kids!
