Process on work for my portfolio (ongoing)
-
I am as @Aleksey patreon from mitchleeuwe and he gave me feedback to try my composition to show from lower angle. Here than two rough sketches in comparison.
-
@MichaelaH oh yeah much better puts you right into the scene
-
Now gonna do some coloring
-
Changed the raccoon, taht he is also moving
-
Next llustration finished, I put some more process here. I didn't do color study.
-
@MichaelaH P.S. Your signature is so perfect for the children’s book market
-
@BichonBistro Thank You, I love mouse so
-
The publishers I am in contact with like my animals, but say I still have to work on human/kids, so last week and this week I did the daily exercise:
-
-
@MichaelaH I will always love your imaginative animals best but your humans are fabulous too!
-
@BichonBistro Thank You so much for liking my work
-
Did they specify what you needed to improve with your humans? I think some of them are pretty good, and that last one is great! Life drawing really helps this stuff, if you can't get to a class, just get to a busy area and do some gestures for 30-60 minutes. You will be amazed how much you can pick up and how it translates to your work after a little while.

@Amanda-Jean I almost never draw ppl, only animals, so I think they didn't like this less amount of ppl I ever drew to that point, I liked to draw animals more, but now I like ppl also. I never really exercised ppl before. I am going to frankfurt book fair this october and I will get feedback there, I will take my new ppl illustrations also with me.

Process on August Superstition
I didn't have much time for this one. At first the storm was coming from left to right, but after I got some some feedback I changed it, because I wanted the first focus to be on the bird and the calm scene. -
@MichaelaH Hey Michaela. What brilliant work. It's so insightful to see your process! Your facial expressions are fantastic and there is so much fun kids will love in your illustrations.
-
@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Thank You Judy for Your nice words
-
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
-
@MichaelaH I love this there is so much to look at and your animals are adorable
-
@NelsonYiap and @ambiirae thank You both

Ok I am working on my portfolio and #fauxInktober Tomorrow's promt is bait and day after freeze, it started only with the grandpa, but later I thought I could do the opossite site for my portfolio (have always two sides), like the before story of little Flip. What do You think? And what about the text?
No problem if somebody with better author (maybe @hannahmccaffery ) or english skills looks over it.And this was the first time little Flip talked to a human.
„I am not good bait, too small, too fishy, big mouth and talking all the time.
The other fishes don‘t like me, bad bait, bad bait.“
The fisherman didn‘t get to say anything before Flip started talking again:
„But I can tell you a great joke?“
„You know this one?“
