I'm REALLY glad that the mural is being painted on panels which allows me to work in the garage around my schedule during odd hours! I don't feel rushed, yet I feel like I'm still getting things accomplished (even with daytime demands).
This evening, I played around with the grape colors, bringing them closer to what I want. I still need to build up layers and values.

I also worked out a couple of issues with the figures - particularly the man. I dealt with the NCS, or Narrow Chin Syndrome, as well as the Big-Footitis that he suffered from. He really had too much heel - the heel was more profile while the front of the foot was more 3/4 view. Anyway, he's been healed - Hallelujah! (And "heeled," I guess).
Went on a vacation to Miami recently and did some snorkeling and sketching at a place called Black Rock. The name just appealed to the Pirates of the Caribbean fan in me. But it was the visiting sea turtles that really made my day!
Projects of all stripes have been keeping me busy these last few weeks, but I thought I'd post a concept development test that I did this morning.

For the last year I have been working on a series of books "The Imagination Station" with Focus on the Family and Tyndale House Publishers. I've recently received my advance copies of the first two books in the series and wanted to show off the covers. Click the horizontal images for all the wraparound cover art goodness.
Having some fun with characters, watercolor and the new natural media brushes in CS5.
Headed down to do some costume drawing at AiPD last night . . .
It all started off pretty realistically
Then I went for a stronger sense of rhythm and movement
Then I moved away from realistic proportion
And finally ended up doing these sorts of things to the model.
All in all a pretty good time.

Got in some figure drawing this weekend.
Though it was time to take a break from the travel sketches, and mention that I really like the pens that have water soluble ink. This was done with a Pilot G-Tec-C4 (and some gaouche). Pretty fun.
For all those who follow this blog (and you know who you are) sorry for not posting for a while. I'm gonna' blame it on being out of the country for the last two weeks.
Just got back from an inspiration trip to England. Saw a lot of great sites, hung out in some great museums and did more than a bit of sketching. It's the latter that I'll be posting for a while.
This first is from the Camden Town locks. I've never seen one of these actually working before so it's pretty cool to watch boats as they "step" up and down the river.
Plus there's a ton of fairly odd shopping in that district.

While I’ve been focusing most of my energies on my greeting card lines, I was delighted and privileged to be able to provide illustrations for an article published by Words of Peace Global.org, a site promoting Prem Rawat’s message of inner peace. His message has made a huge, indescribable impact in my life, and it was a fantastic experience for me to use a talent that I have and love to help in this effort. You can click here to view the article online, or you can click here to download the article and see the other articles available.

nice literate girl?
My son and I were going back through the pages of my sketchbook as I am just a few pages from filling it. I really enjoyed my time drawing and painting in this past year, and it's been pretty difficult to find the time lately (or the motivation when I do have the time). But, such is life right now...
I did recently do some sketches of various characters. I've only pictured one of them here (guess I forgot to photograph the other - baby brain). While it's Li'l Red Riding Hood-ish, that's not what was motivating me. I can really get in a rut, drawing things in the same way all the time, so I just wanted to play around and try to do something with a little different "feel." I don't know if I was successful - I don't think I can divorce myself completely.
The figure is always a challenge. I'll do something that I sort of like, and then I'll see other people's work that is different (and impressive), and it makes me want to try a different angle. I guess that goes back to my desire not to pigeon-hole myself by limiting my style. In the long run, I don't know if that's a good thing (I'd like to think it is). But, I think I'd go nuts if I was simply drawing illo after illo in the same style. Exploring and inventing are half the fun!
Anyway, today was a very special day because my youngest turned 6 years old! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLEY!
I am behind on my new blog linking, something I plan to remedy this afternoon. I did want to bring your attention to a blog I just found--Black Threads in Kid's Literature. Written by children's author Kyra E. Hicks, this is a blog the kidlitosphere needs. (I raved about Hicks' Martha Ann's Quilt for Queen Victoria in April here.)

In the world of reviewing, I have a review of a super-cute picture book--Jan Thomas' What Will Fat Cat Sit On?--up over at Book Buds.
