@Solomon-Designs Yes it goes in a more abstract direction I believe, I think the Graphic Design I like must have some drawing attached to it, like packaging design or labels for products, this kind of thing. In fact in China there's a lot more interesting packaging design. I use an old cake box to store things- will post an image in a moment to show you.

Spring festival Design -Chinese New Year!

@PenAndrew nice, yes there is some illustration involved in graphic design if it solves the clients marketing issue. A lot of times I’m doing lots of work with type and layouts and very little illustration and very little animation.
-
So my 7 year old drew this yesterday. I swear she's gonna be teaching me her ways in no time. Anyone else's kids big into art? I'm blown away by mine every time she picks up a pencil crayon
-
@AngelinaKizz Tell her she did a great job! I don't think that I could draw to this level until I was maybe 10 or11.
-
@PenAndrew me either! With things like YouTube and online drawing classes, I feel like they progress so much faster. I had to learn by teaching myself and drawing every day for hours on end. She's just flying through her learning process. I can't wait to see what she accomplishes.
-
@AngelinaKizz Yes, I look forward to seeing her progress. My Great -niece is also into drawing encouraged by my sister, her grandmother.
-
@AngelinaKizz Yes, this is one of the positive things about growing up in the age of the internet. Maybe.
-
More progress… slow but not so steady. Lots and lots of feathers…

Pride month image (more graphic novel like than children's book perhaps)

@chrisaakins Haha, looking great so far Chris!

Went by the bookstore and bought three picture books. I was looking for books that were in the vein of how I like to render illustrations. I found one treasure especially: Ryan T Higgins’ book Mother Bruce. I was inspired to see if I could emulate his style using Inky from my mice stories.
Here is a snapshot of Higgin’s work from his website:
And here is my rendering of Inky enjoying the summer night.
Not half bad! I wasn’t going so much for his stylization so much as his line work and coloring. His line work has very thick outlines and lots of thin messy lines for texture. He uses a single texture overlay on all his coloring and looks like digital watercolor.

Some fanart from twitter suggestions last night

A little bit left to do, but enjoying colouring up this bee girl

@Jeremiahbrown Love it! Those are some chill parents. Unless that is a motel room that they are fantastically destroying, then I can understand the attitude. Lol!
-
I'm working on character designs for my children's book series (the books will be in Chinese). Here are the model sheets of some of the characters!
Have process photos on my website too:
-
@Mary-Toth love the style and colours
-
@JQ These are so good. Hopefully I can buy your book when it is available as I am in China.
