My little 9th grade apple did her first digital illustration for a teen zine project today. The theme is “identity” Hand drawn, scanned and colored in PS.
I personally love it (but I’m way too biased).

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

As you might remember, I promised you a peek at the final illustration I was working on for the SCBWI. Well, here it is.
If it weren’t well past my bedtime, I might be compelled to write some more about it. That will have to wait until later.

This is what the artwork looks in the actual newsletter.

Cheers!

I wanted to share a bit of an inside peek at my illustration process for a recent piece I did for the SCBWI Mid-Atlantic Newsletter Cover. The image is a fall theme. I chose this vignette of a little mouse couple relaxing on a cold autumn afternoon by their fireplace.

This is the very first phase, the thumbnail concept that eventually leads to a more developed idea in the rough.

This is the first draft of the rough sketch, my little mouse fellow has a lady to keep him company. The “camera” has pulled back a bit to give you a glimpse of the mouses’ home but it still has some ways to go.

This is the final drawing of the mouse couple based on the rough sketch. The detail is now where it needs to be. The fireplace now supports the cozy, somewhat rustic scene. I wanted it to be believable that perhaps Mr. Mouse might have built it himself from stones from the field.

That’s all for now but I’ll be posting the final color version soon! At that time, I’ll talk about my digital technique.

Hey, IF folks! It’s been a long, long time since I posted an entry for Illustration Friday. It’s a bit of a stretch, but hey, that’s creativity.

This piece is digitally colored. Yay!
