PiBoIdMo

Picture Book Idea Month starts tomorrow!  This will be my second year participating and I'm super excited!  Last year it was really challenging, really fun, and I got a few great ideas out of it that turned into actual stories :)  Let's do this!

Happy Halloween!

Shadows

Here's my finished drawing for a spread from a book I'm creating.  Now I have to decide what if any color to add to it and how... hmmmm.

Quick Sketch

There's a picture of my nephew on my calendar this month from when he first tried on his Halloween costume last year.  I decided to do a quick sketch of it today because it was so darn cute.

Halloween Postcard

Look at the Leaves Day

I'm a day late getting this one up here, but here it is:
I've had one of those weeks where I really feel like I'm fighting my materials so it was super nice to make something I'm happy with today and to have fun doing it :)
PS Can you tell fall is my favorite time of year in Oregon.  Most of my pieces lately have that theme :)

Homemade Cookie Day

Here's a sketch of a little bear cub who stole one of mama bear's homemade cookies.  Maybe I'll play with taking it to color another day.
