Here's a quick Illustration Friday: studying is definitely necessary when preparing for a test. . or a project. . .or anything in life actually. You must absorb knowledge before you can apply it :)
I apologize for the long hiatus and have really missed blogging! I've been swamped trying to meet two different deadlines.
One, I can talk about. . it's Attack of the Space Chickens in short comic form for Illopond's Space Anthology. The above illustration was actually a sketch from the story that I ended up having to cut out.
As for the other project, I won't be able to show art from it until the book is published (hopefully by the end of this year). Until then, I leave you with picture book tips from Eric Carle himself as he works on his latest book The Artist Who Painted a Horse:
Fantastic! Love a chicken who studies (and doesn't google...) :)
ReplyDeleteForgot to add... Eric Carle video was also fantastic and very, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem Karena. Wasn't it fascinating to see him work on that horse?
DeleteHaha! Very funny!
ReplyDeletethanks etringita :)
DeleteYour chicken is so lovable! His little glasses are the cutest. I actually think that there is strength in the fact that you did it quickly... the lines are loose and expressive.
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point. . .I've been meaning to loosen up my style recently and maybe forcing a time limit might help :)
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the lovely comment :)
DeleteGreat work! I love the slick style and the textured background.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I used a scanned in sheet of parchment paper for the background and painted it digitally with a sponge brush pen :)
