Fixed It!

I felt like this one needed more depth so I added another layer of leaves.  Added bonus: there's more contrast now too :)

Out for a Drive

Stormy Day

It was pretty crazy wet here today.  Lots of wind and tons of rain, so I used that for this:

Model Trains

This is a re-take on a sketch I did a while ago.  The former drawing had a little boy playing with his train set by himself.  This one is more of an homage to all the Saturdays I would spend tittering around the garage with my dad while he worked on his model trains :)

Catching Leaves

I actually saw a little girl doing this at the park and I thought it was brilliant!  I love fall, I love leaves, I love falling leaves!

An Experiment

This was just trying some new things and also because I love playing with my Pan Pastels :)

Happy November 1st!

Last night, I was talking to my mom as I rushed home from work to try and beat the trick-or-treaters to my house.  We were discussing our trick-or-treater number predictions and other statistical numerical things when she brought up how her sisters and her used to walk down a really long drive-way to what they believed to be a witch's house because she gave out full size candy bars.  When I asked her why they would trust a candy bar from a witch, she simply said, "It was Halloween.  Witches have to be nice on Halloween."  Is it any wonder I'm a children's author/illustrator?  :)
Anyway, I loved that idea and think I might have to elaborate that into a story.  For now, here is my sketch of how the witches are feeling after having to be nice for one whole day!

Former Comic Blog Stuff

My blog used to be all about quick comics, but I found myself wanting to post so much other stuff like sketches and Illustration Friday posts, etc that I decided to start a new one.  You can still see my comic sketches on that blog www.quickcomicsbyerin.blogspot.com 

Here are  my two favorites from that blog.
