What’s New This Week…
I’m almost finished with the illustrations for my most current children’s book.* I was pretty pleased with the way this page turned out and am especially fond of the filtered light in the shop. Hope you all like it!
*I should note, I’m illustrating the book but did not author it.
Original done in pencil on paper, scanned then drawn in Adobe Illustrator.

What’s New This Week…
I’m working on a new children’s book—another one about trains. I can only show a little snippet of it so far. Here is the preliminary cover.
I’m using a much more simple illustration style—simple in that I am not using brush strokes or a painterly effect. It still takes me about 8-10 hours to draw and color each page. Plus I keep seeing things I want to change.
I also keep in mind that I don’t want any of my trains to ever look like Thomas or The Little Blue Engine. I also need to make my wheels appear to be moving faster … maybe a little blur is needed.
