Standing Up to the Bullies – Image 1
I’ve been quiet here lately because I’ve been working on a picture book. Learning A-Z commissioned me through Storybook Arts to illustrate a graded reader titled Standing Up to the Bullies, written by Ashley Kazery. I just finished the last image this afternoon. I’ll probably have a few minor edits before publication, but I’m more-or-less finished.
Here’s the first of thirteen images.
[Edit: I’ve updated the image. This is the final they’re using for the book.]

Trayvon Martin Image – Finished Version
So, I decided to finish off this sketch. You’ll notice that I made the Zimmerman character look more like the actual guy instead of a sort of generic fat guy like in the sketch.
