I just finished attending a webinar hosted by the KS/MO chapter of the SCBWI. I have been doing illustration long enough now that a lot of these seminars (in person and online) are sort of reviewing things I’ve already picked up. But I did get a few points that were sort of new, or at least good to be reminded of. And it’s always good to get out there (metaphorically because it was on zoom) and actually discuss things.
The subjects were picture book dummies and working with art departments.
There was a lot of information, but the advice I took away was:

Inktober 2020 #31 – Crawl
So, since this is posting on Halloween, I thought it should be a Halloween themed image. So, the two things that come to mind with crawl is creepy crawly bugs and crawling babies. Bugs only seem really Halloweeny if it’s a spider or if they’re crawling over a corpse. I already did a spider this month and corpses are gross. Trying to not go for too gross since my target audience are kids.
So, a Halloween-themed baby.
I doodled a baby pumpkin-head, a baby Dracula, a baby Frankenstein’s monster, and a baby zombie. By the way, baby zombie? NO. Not cute. Bad. Very bad.
And I also doodled this baby Death, which is the one I liked best. So, that’s the one I finished off for today.
Whew! This is the last one! I’m done. I hope you enjoyed the month of inktober as much as I did. Thanks for watching!
Inktober 2020 #30 – Ominous
I considered several possibilities to answer this prompt, but you know what? Sometimes the less you know, the worse it could be.
Inktober 2020 #29 – Shoes
This is about the cutest concept I can think of today.
Inktober 2020 #28 – Float
When I looked through this year’s Inktober prompt list for the first time, I saw this prompt and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. So, I’ve waited all month to do this one, and I finally got to it! Yay!
I may come back to it and add in shadows and maybe colors later. But not today. 🙂
Inktober 2020 #27 – Music
Siren song counts as music, right? I hope so, but really… I just felt like drawing a mermaid. 🙂
It seems like every time I draw water, I do it differently. This style seems pretty good for mid-ocean swells.
Inktober 2020 #26 – Hide
I don’t know how that got into his house, but I don’t blame him for hiding.
