      @RG-Spaulding Ok! I'll keep you in mind.

      Another value sketch for the next piece. I'm holding off on the architectural details until I get more solid on what I'll be doing with some of the other pieces.

          @TessaW these are so beautiful. Your thumbnails alone are so interesting. I’d love to see what you come up next.

              I've posted these in another thread, but like to keep everything here to see it come together. I decided to go in a different direction. Instead of all full bleed illustrations, I want to have more variety of format and interacting with text. I also want to leave a little more to the imagination as that's how it would be for an actual middle grade book- but I will probably still give more information than average.

                      WOW is all I can muster. This is awesome. If you're still looking for help in middle grade reference, Kelly Murphy and Poly Bernatene are a couple of my favorites.

                        Thank you guys so much for the encouragement!

                        @Laurel-Aylesworth Ooo, awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I hadn't really heard of them before, but looking at some of their art, one of their pieces was already in my pinterest mood board for this series. 🙂

                                      Alright, I'm trying to wrap up the final paintings. Still have to construct a spot illustration, but the rest are in the painting stages. Trying to get them all 80-90% done and then will go through them all to refine and adjust overall values. Here are 4 out of 6 in various stages of finish.

                                          @TessaW Holy Moly, these are looking amazing, I would buy this book just for the illustrations alone. Thanks so much for sharing your process and talent.
