@Asyas_illos I'm looking forward to that!!

[Gary Wilkinson]

Working on another kid. This time I want to challenge myself with a more difficult and interesting lighting setup. Helps to work slowly to figure things out

[Kristen Lango]

@Gary-Wilkinson These are so creative, and I think you're headed in a great direction with that lighting

[Heather Boyd]

@burvantill Thank you

@HeatherB I love this so much!!! Beautiful... I love the flat color and the added detail, well done. And I love how you chose unusual breeds not just the standard H for Horse.

Every monday I committed the first hour or more till lunch time to "Creative Hour": make something that isn't an existing project. Sometimes it happens on my journal. This time it's on iPad.

I wrote a newsletter article about it on substack which I try to publish weekly. The gist of this week's article is that your stars can't align if they don't exist in the first place. Here's the illo I made to go with it

Another study!

Did I mention I love Art of books?

[Heather Boyd]

@Jeremy-Ross I do too. But there expensive so I just have Up and Brave!

[Jeremy Ross]

Totally agree @Heather-Boyd!

In the spirit of transparency, I don’t have all these Art Of books, I just look at the covers online, lol.

I do own a few though.

@Melissa_Bailey Penelope was hilarious. I wonder if he used a brush pen and scanned the drawings in. It looks pretty digital to me.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@chrisaakins I think the textures were created traditionally and then colored digitally. If you look closely at the illustrations, you'll see that some textures are used again and again but are colored differently.

Here are the remaining character designs for my children's book series. Manuscript and book dummy for the first book will be going to the publisher soon, fingers crossed!

@JQ Wow you're fast! Looking good. Is this for the LKY bilingualism call for proposal in August?
I've only started designing my main character. Need to pick up my speed!

I'm working on a series of alphabetized postcards in a series I'm calling "Journey of the Imagination". They're for a class on Skillshare, but they've been my personal project for a while now as I've slowly cranked them out over the last couple of months. I still have half the alphabet to go. I"m having a lot of fun! Here's the latest four.

Gosh I love your stuff, so funny and relaxed. My work is so tight...arg!

@Mary-Toth Your designs are so much fun! I use watercolor and colored pencils too, but I always use the colored pencils on top of the watercolor. I'm going to give your technique a try sometime! I love the look you achieved with it. And your gouache art is gorgeous too. Love the colors.
