Inktober 2020 #17 – Rocket

October 17, 2020September 25, 2020Leave a comment

Well, I’ve drawn real rockets and sci-fi rockets. I considered drawing Rocket Raccoon. But I decided to draw a boy lighting a bottle rocket instead.

Lines only. Didn’t bother with shading today. Maybe I’ll come back to it.

Five ages now.  I think at 16 she might just be on the swim team.

Now 4 ages.  I bet she’s a good swimmer by age 13.

Here’s the same girl at ages 2, 5, and 10.  Or thereabouts, anyway.

Here’s a new one for that same series I’ve been working on.  Seems our girl has been texting in class.

Karen Jones is such common name that it won’t surprise you to learn that I’m not the only Karen Jones around.  In fact, I’m not even the only children’s illustrator named Karen Jones!  That’s why I include the B.
