I just launched a new video to show my printing process for the Teeny Press series! I hope you guys enjoy it. There are still some prints available to purchase here.
ALSO! I’ve got some original artwork that will be for sale in Portland in August at the Crafty Wonderland shop downtown! Here’s a little preview 🙂
I’m trying something new! I’m going to start “Freebie Friday” – where I give away an original illustration to a random fan! I just finished painting this one and I will be giving it away via my Facebook page tomorrow (6/8/12). What do you have to lose? Go throw your name in the hat 🙂
Here are the four final illustrations I’ve been working on the past few weeks. They are a combination of watercolor, India ink, and colored pencil. I’m not sure if the book they are a part of will ever get off the ground, but we’ll see 🙂
I’m in the middle of working up some final illustrations for a children’s book that I wrote last summer. I’m hoping to shop it around to publishers soon, but first need a few sample finished illustrations. The finals will be done in watercolor, but one of the nice things about the digital era is that it’s relatively easy to do a mock-up of the colors in Photoshop. These four were all done relatively quickly, so they are admittedly sloppy.
I’ll post the finals here as I finished them.
Today I was working on another watercolor test and I decided to snap some pictures along the way. First I layed down a light yellow wash over the whole thing – to help unify the colors.
Then I start painting in local colors.
After that I add some shadows and value where needed.
Then it’s just a matter of fine-tuning,
To finish it all off I work with colored pencil.
I’ve been testing out a ton of watercolor paper over the past two days. I thought I might as well post my little demo paintings. I’m really excited to start working on traditional stuff again!
