      @Asyas_illos Iโ€™ve been brainstorming a steampunk-themed story in my head lately so hereโ€™s various character designs of one of my characters thatโ€™s a part of it ๐Ÿ™‚ (my desk lamp doesnโ€™t provide the best lighting Iโ€™ve been meaning to change the bulb lol)

              @Asyas_illos thanks! They were too plain and boring so I added faces. ๐Ÿ˜

                        "Saving Ruby" I don't know why I am drawn to illustrating mundane things like my bland public housing flat window. The interesting part is that I did not set out to make an illustration. I started the sketching and art making process as an attempt to study rhythm in visual form, so as to translate it into the broader understanding of rhythm to help me come to terms with the lack of regularity my life is having right now.

                        I went into it a bit more in my March newsletter - which was frantically drafted at dawn in a hotel room because I was so caught up with the busyness of my brother's wedding prep and family visiting. So, yes, I caught at least one error after hitting send. Oh well.

                          This is based on my three year old daughter. I struggled a lot with drawing her hand in front of her face but it feels so good to be drawing again after so many months not being able to. I think being back to drawing has a lot to do with selfauthoring.com if any of you have heard of that.

                          Anyway, have a great day!! ๐Ÿ™‚

                                Was rewatching the Indiana Jones movies with my wife and thought it would be fun to give it the kidlit treatment! I just got the maxpack gouache brushes (sooo good). If you're using procreate, definitely check them out.

                                    Gosh, it's been forever since I've posted work here. Last year I just had my head down all year working on storytelling. We'll see if it helped!

                                    Anyway, I just finished or revised five illustrations for my CBPro Hansel and Gretel project, so here they are. These are the versions without text, but it's easy to guess what they are. They're finished, but critiques are still welcome. I can always learn!

                                        @LauraA, your illustrations are beautiful, I love the soft colours and line work. However I do have one critique since you said you were open to it. While your backgrounds and characters for the most part are drawn in a naturalistic style (perspective, forms turning in space, drapery etc) the characters' expressions are drawn in a super stylized cartoon/comic strip style (short hand 2d mouth shapes, eyebrow shapes, some extreme squash and stretch) to me, this doesn't fit with the style of the rest of the illustrations. Is this an intentional choice for how you want your style to look or is it because you struggle with more naturalistic expressions?

                                            Here is another tree troll I did as I continue to work these creatures out in my head and figure out what part I'd like them to play in a story of some kind. I do know there will be all types of these Tree Trolls, some quite small, some as large as a massive bear and some much, much, MUCH larger than that. Something I quite enjoy about trolls is the variety in which you can design with them. ๐Ÿ™‚
