The Picture-Bookies Showcase is a new blog specifically for showcasing the art of Picture Book Illustrators. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite, which I graciously accepted.

There are weekly themes to which all contributors of the blog may post an illustration. Although the objective is not to create new art, but to show off the skills with whatever artwork we have that fits the theme, I thought I would take this opportunity to once again, reinvent myself (or at least my art).

This week’s topic is "By Appointment Only".



Step 1:

Create this sketch while sitting on the beach on Monday.



Step 2:

Got back home today and redrew the sketch on large happy paper.



Step 3:

Roughed in some paint and chalk pastel.
