It has been a while since I have made an underwater scene. This is today's study

Hi all !
If you were entering my studio right now you would see very detailed small animals illustrations for a children book... kind of a small encyclopedia ! I had the chance to do the first 2 books of this serie. I would gladly show you but it is still confidential, since the book is not done ! But I can show you the one I did for the "flowers and plants". It is very hard work because professionals review the illustration to confirm if it is 100% accurate... but it is good practice for sure !
You can see what the books looks like in my portfolio here : http://www.valeriedesrochers.com/portfolio/autour-de-toi-plantes/

That said, I don't have time to do the "Slowvember" challenge... but having work to do, it is a good reason right ?

@ValD Love this!

I've got one final set of animal posters to knockout for work, so I'm going with "jungle/international" for the theme on this one. This one's South America, with jaguars and a toucan.

@Katie-Kordesh The palette and rendering remind me of the old pink panther cartoons. I love it!

I need to work on drawing kids now that I got animals down pretty well.

More kiddos. I’m really bad at this. I need a lotta practice. Some of them look not so bad, I suppose.
My faves are the grinning redhead, the blushing boy, and the surprised girl. What are yours?

I have been working on using triadic colour schemes in double page spreads.

@skillydan this is a really attractive style -esp the paper cut out look.

Here’s a piece from a series I just finished up! If you’d like to see the rest I’ll be continuing to post the rest on my Instagram

I’ve been having a lot of difficulty with mental blocks lately so I really wanted to do something fun. I decided to do my own Christmas card this year, with my dog as the star of the show!

Decided that since I finished a major paper for one of my classes, I would reward myself by participating in folktale week. I did the prompt for birth. It is a folktale that the ox and donkey were at Christ’s birth. It is based on an allusion in Isaiah 1:3

Jeremy Ross

Finished a 2-page spread in a children’s book I’m working on.

Thank you @Heather-Boyd I really enjoyed working on this piece and everything just kind of fell into place exactly how I wanted it to.

I wasn't sure if this thread was supposed to be finished pieces or not but I doodled this last night while watching tv and thought it might make someone at least chuckle.

I am re doing some advent pieces, because I want to eventually create an advent book. The first is the traditionally done one and the second is the digital do over. What do ya think?

Just finished a Zombie Butler maquette based on a sketch I made in October. This started out as halloween project to work on with my kids (they made their own zombies) and as a pressure release from Inktober, but as the quiet hours piled up with my hands in the clay, I started to think of the world and character "Reggie" would inhabit, and now I've got the beginnings of an idea for a graphic novel (probably aimed at middle schoolers) where a couple of foster kids run away and hide out in a haunted house, where they are protected and raised by the undead servants (kinda like "The Graveyard Book" meets "Beauty and the Beast"). Reggie is the butler and leader of the staff, and he'll be joined by a ghostly maid and gargoyle guard dog. My plan is to continue to noodle around with the character design while fleshing out the story. Isn't it crazy how a goofy little sketch can take off on you like that?
