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

This week I had a rush job for Positive Promotions. They needed 6 spot illustrations for use on the cover of a student planner. Here’s what I came up with.

So, I’m working on a series for my portfolio in my spare time. It revolves around the girl on the right and her middle school friends. She was also in the selfie pic I posted earlier.
I hesitated to put this one up now, before I’ve finished more of the series, because it’s pretty negative and the series isn’t supposed to be negative.
I was kind of in a mood when I drew it.
I promise she’s not normally a kid that gets in fights.
This was just a really bad day for her.
The next one will be more pleasant.
I promise.
I actually chose this pose to show some action, to show the two figures directly interacting with each other in a realistic pose, to show angry expressions, and to oppose the stereotypes that only boys ever fight.

(This one was a little complicated, but I’m glad I did it. My favorite for this book.)
