Artist's Comments

This took ages, it was for the communication arts call for entires in Illustration this year. It's based on an idea a friend of mine had. She wrote a childrens book about a little girl who finds an egg and wonders what kind of animal is inside. It turns out to be a bird egg. This is a page from the book as I see it.

I don't know how I feel about this thing, I probably wont for a while. Here it is anyway

mixed media: colured pencil, gouache, watercolour, and a fair bit of photoshop.

A challenge. I see a chance to add real colours to my favourite palette.

This is lovely, I went "Oh wow!" when I saw the thumbnail! To my eyes there are a few stylistic contrasts (the scales of the dragon look rather like lineart, so soft shading of the little girl seems a little out of place), but the composition is well thought out and the details really caught my eye.

That is amazing, and I can see this being the cover of a book. The color is so vibrant and the style of the whole piece just says "fantastical whimsy." You definitely have a talent for color!

this is cool :D I recognized it as some sort of childrens book picture before I saw that it in fact was... In school, I had a similar [or maybe even same..?] project where we take a childrens story page and make a picture from a quote of the text of our choice, in our own style. I chose Alice in Wonderland [but my pic didn't turn out that well, we had hardly any time to work on it!] but I really like this and how it was coloured :heart:
