Updates

I just wanted to follow up on past blog posts to fill you all in. So as for the pumpkin carving contest, my husband and I got 3rd place, which means we got $25 off of our rent this month! It was pretty cool. We were succeeded by a Hannibal mask, and possibly a storm trooper, which were nice, but I still like mine better. :)

Now as far as the Dancing moon goes, I still have some revisions to make. More anatomy fixes and some color changes and it should be good enough to send out next Wednesday to art directors in the Children's book publishing business. There will be a final post on that this next week.

The other mailer I am doing with the animals on the bicycle are still with my professor. I can't wait to get it back and show all of you what it looks like!

I will post some more pictures of new projects soon!

mailer sketches

So here is my first sketch of 2 children biking and I showed it Greg Newbold and he gave me excellent advice. He said it might be better is the children were animals like a penguin and a polar bear so that more people can relate to the piece. I sketched a lot more figuring out what animals to use and what they look like.


Here is what I came up with, but I wanted to push it some more in making the characters and bike into simple shapes.




Here is the final sketch and now I am going to paint it!
