Dolores Umbridge – WIP 2

Moving right along, here’s the finished lines without color.

Dolores Umbridge – WIP

Here’s a sketch of an image I’m working on just for myself.  I’ll post the final when it’s finished.

Here’s an illustration of mine that’s in the November issue of 435 Magazine.

Missing You

Miss You 2
I’m not entirely happy with the composition.  It feels sort of unbalanced, somehow, no matter how I crop it…  Dunno.  I may need to work on it some more.  *shrug*

I really like the colors and the way I drew the guy, though.

Published in the SCBWI Bulletin

So, here’s my “Girl Reading” image published in the November/December 2014 issue of the SCBWI Bulletin.

SCBWI Bulletin

scbwi 200I’ve just received an email telling me that one or more of my pieces will be used in the November/December 2014 issue of the SCBWI Bulletin.  I’m not sure which pieces were chosen yet because I’ve sent them several recently, but it’s always nice to get into this publication.  They’ve published me twice before.  SCBWI stands for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and is a publication for its members.  Illustrators for their issues are chosen from submissions sent by their member illustrators and are paid a nominal fee for one-time publishing rights.  It also gets me some exposure on a national level that I don’t normally get.

So, that’s very cool.   I’ll post again when I find out which images they chose.

Growing Up

Thinking about how my oldest is 9 going on 10.  She’s growing up so fast.  I’ll have to have “the talk” with her this year, I think.
