Mouse with Mushrooms

A few days ago I was in the mood to take requests.  Elaethyra asked for a mouse sitting on a mushroom using another mushroom as an umbrella.  Well, the rainy April weather’s been particularly inspiring for that sort of piece, so here you go.

I was playing with Kyle’s Real Watercolor brushes, which are rather impressive Photoshop brushes.

Revised Illustration

So, I asked for critiques on this and thank you so much for the suggestions.  I made some changes and here’s the revised illustration.

Don’t Make the Grizzly Angry

Cartoon-Girl-Animals-500

This was an experimental piece.  I was practicing several things.

– Cartoon females in this sort of bit-headed cute style.
– Expressive poses (body and face)
– Full background

I’m not really sure what’s going on in this scene except that it’s probably not a good idea for a cat to tick off a grizzly.

Since this was an experiment, I welcome critique and feedback on this piece.

Revised “Poets” for Hart McLeod

PoetsI was asked to revise this to make both characters non-white so as to increase the diversity of the illustrations in the textbook.  I left the girl as she was, since she was already brown-skinned.  The boy became black with dreadlocks.  (Because dreadlocks are fun to draw.)

Here’s the same image as a night scene with the aurora borealis.

Here’s an illustration I made for a workbook for Hart McLeod.

I am somewhat concerned by the blatant workplace safety violations depicted in this illustration. 😉
