      @kirsten-mcg This is so well done! I love how you treated the hair with that touch of red/orange to give warmth to really place the children inside the room.

        @Melissa_Bailey thanks so much Melissa! Yeah I'm trying to push myself to not resort to using full saturation and splashing bright vivid color on the page all the time ('tis my tendency😁) I'm starting to feel like I'm assaulting people's eyes hahaha

          @Melissa_Bailey I can't remember if I already replied to your "Once Upon a Nighttime" cover, but it is so beautiful! It's tender and sweet and has such delicacy to it with that little mouse holding his acorn. I honestly couldn't dream of a better children's book cover than this.

            @Kristen-Lango oh wow, thanks so much! I hope that this little cover is effective in selling the dummy.

                    @Mewie Thank you! I love these books too. 😊 And I'm so happy to hear that you find Edmond's expression intriguing! That's what I was going for. Plus, grumpy faces are just fun to draw lol.

                          Slowly illustrating a personal project, Lulu and the Tutu, written by my Lighting Designer colleague in the theatre department where we work together. Hoping to have it finished for printing for family and friends in time for Christmas 2023. Very long way to go, but It's getting there.

                            @von_Nimmermehr Beautiful! I love that pose of the character sitting and looking off. Somehow it just feels really cozy and warm to me.

                              I think I need to wrestle with traditional media a little more now and again. Which version, right or left, do you like better?

                                  @Sarah-VanDam I Love this so much!! Such great movement and line. I think the second one is better, the direction of the flow of gesture makes better sense reading it from left to right, and the blue hue in the background makes the image pop. Beautiful work 🙂

                                    This took me forever, but I really enjoyed doing it. It's the opening spread for a dummy I'm working on.

                                      @Sarah-VanDam Love these - so whimsical and beautiful too. The second one (right) for me. Combo of the colouring and composition makes it more eye-catching, for me at any rate!

                                        @Sarah-VanDam wow this is great! I love it. I also like the one on the right the most.

                                            I was trying to think of something to draw and remembered a story an unnamed host told on the Three-point Perspective podcast about throwing carrots (or something) down on unsuspecting pedestrians below him. I couldn't find the episode again, so I'm just going from memory. I thought it would be a fun story to try to illustrate.
