Inktober Day 14 – Armor

Ok, I told the dragonet this morning that he had to wear armor today. The conversation did not go well… “D – “don’t want to wear armor! It’s too heavy and hot!!

Inktober Day 12 – Slippery

Sideth is growing like a weed. He misses his friend, Kitty. I did this in Ink andContinue reading “Inktober Day 3 – Bulky”

A page spread develops – artistic process

These are my sketches for a page spread that I am doing for my children’s book course. I had a ton of ideas and I did a bunch of thumbnails, but I opted for the simplest design in order not to get frustrated, and could complete it within the time frame allotted. Advice that IContinue reading “A page spread develops – artistic process”
