@Oana They’d be a great place to hide something though my sister said she wouldn’t want to walk alone down that road

Hey Everyone,
I have a portfolio review at the SCBWI virtual conference at the end of this month. I did this piece as a watercolour and as a vector illustration some years ago. I've always loved it. Today, I took the watercolour scan into procreate and worked on it a bit. Do you think it's a strong piece for my portfolio? I just listened to the class on 100 pieces to have in your portfolio, and I thought this might work for things of different scales. I also plan to add text in there.
Art is hard.

My first rough draft/sketch of Alberts house. I'm actually using my Colin bear character to make a house design, since I didn't participate in last month's challenge. I had the idea to show him several times around the house doing what he does, similar to the old family circus comic, like a day in the life of Colin type thing. Not sure if that will be confusing tho. Don't want it to look like the house is overrun by bear cubs

Hello friends!
I am currently working on a new print, and I plan to share all the steps here , in case it might help somebody! I really hope it does!
Go to that post to check the story behind the piece!

@neschof This shape is amazing! I love this sketchy look, too - gives a very stylized impression of fur.
-
@Elliot thank you, it's going to be a square book cover and I wanted to fill the whole front cover with the wolf so he had to contort himself
-
@kylebeaudette I really like this - they're so cute!
-
Rough character design for a comic that probably will never happen
-
@Braden-Hallett I love it
-
@Jon-Anderson this is really beautiful and intriguing but I am a sucker for Gray scale images.

Practicing my line and wash - this is a friend’s cabin in New Hampshire (US) where I am vacationing. Maybe I should put something suburban-ish in the yard and call it “Arthur’s house” for the contest

This week a local pop-up vaccine hub invited in our Urban Sketchers group to document their final day. The setting was a beautiful 17th century house and people having Pfizer got to sit in the flower gardens for their 15 minute wait

My water loving Albert would gladly live there! -
@Oana You’re right. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a few of his relatives somewhere in this lake. (I loved your Albert, by the way.)

Whenever I'm not sure what to draw, I draw something 'turtle-y'... like this turtletank :-]

This week I got my first ever self-published project done and up for sale. It's not children's illustration but I'm really proud of it. I couldn't find a cheap source for the type of calendar I wanted to make, so I just did it myself. I learned so much doing this, and the things I had to do to make it happen are going to pay off in my future: I bought a nice professional printer (Canon Pixma Pro 200), I started an LLC, I invested in a good paper (thanks to @Lee-White for the B&H Photo source), a hole-punch and shipping supplies, figured out how the e-commerce offerings work on my website service... It has been a profoundly valuable endeavor with such a deeply intense learning curve--and I'm so glad I did it. Even if I don't sell a single calendar, the choices I committed to will pay off in the long run in many ways, with many potential projects now possible. It has been a very good couple of weeks in my studio!
