Recap

A whole lot of things have happened since I last updated this blog ( or well, last serious update.). For starters, I'm a senior now! Finally! Graduation will be wonderful, out into the real world.. which is a scary place in all reality, but I'm ready for a new adventure. Another is that I've settled on a market (finally), I'm aiming for the children's department in general. Filling my portfolio with children's book spreads, spot illustrations, and holiday cards. Hopefully everything will work out nicely for me, I have no idea how I'm going to pull it all off.. but. Easy come easy go! I have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks!

Here's a sketch for now,

Anubis, for a children's book on the Egyptian gods. I was really into Egypt as a child ( and arguably still am.), so I'm really excited to paint this. I hope to follow it up with some small spot illustrations of canopic jars. I'm still working on the sketches of those, and should post them when I'm finished. This blog doesn't get enough attention from me! Not that I have many readers, but its still nice to update I believe.

I've taken to drawing with Prismacolor color erase pencils lately, red being my favorite one to use so far. I think my pencil sketches are coming out more solid, when compared to my digital sketches. I'm enjoying the process more as well. c:

Ho-hum. I suppose thats all for now.
