This illustration was slightly inspired by an old Pixar short called Knick Knack, using some shading techniques I learned at Dan Santat's illustrators workshop. Look Mom! I'm using complementary colors :D
Also, I finished teaching my cartoon workshop and would like to share my student's blogs. They've come a long way (one student even started the class saying he couldn't draw) and you can tell they spent a lot of time designing the look of their blogs. I had a blast teaching the kids and am hoping to teach the workshop again either this fall or summer. Until then, onto illustrating my first picture book!
I adore the fragility of the glass and snowman. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! Took me a while to get that look ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the snow globe...great job with a difficult subject! Betsy Streeter has a kids' art website called Drooly Dog - your students might want to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! That's a great idea. . .I've heard of Drooly Dog but didn't even think of sharing that with the kids ;). By the way, I've been a follower of your work for a while and really love your drawings!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo beautiful...
