Off to School



I'm doing these recent paintings to practice and figure out which styles I want to do my books in. The book sketches are almost done so I'll have to make up my mind very soon!

I added some 'ink' digitally since my scanner isn't picking up the softer pencil outlines too well.

Now, this is exactly the kind of comment that I should print out and tape above my art desk during the numerous days that I feel I'm just not good enough. Many thanks, Guy!

It looks like their happy journey to school is lots of fun :o)
(Not so sure on the digital ink line bit, it looks a bit too solid. But all the rest is pure joy to see.)

Wonderful characters-- really love that elephant! I wonder why scanners are so lacking when it comes to picking up pencil!? My digital camera sometimes does a better job than my scanner.
