An image for Summer!

Boy & Goldfish

I'm playing with color here and paint treatment, using a more subdued palette. I think I like it. What do you think?

Thanks!

Some sketches

Here are some sketches I've been working on and will soon add some color. I'm really enjoying time in my sketchbook and just trying to add to my portfolio of work. Thanks for any comments or feedback! I'd love it if anyone had any requests for images they want to see me do. Make a suggestion and I might do it!

Here's just another little spot illustration playing with characters and paint.

Thanks!

The Owl & the Pussycat

The Owl and the Pussycat is always a fun poem to illustrate. I'll probably take it further by adding the copy and another spot illustration to put it together as if to publish it. Not sure how I feel about the painting of it, but it's not too bad. I drew with blue pencil then did a black pencil line, scanned it in, adjusted the line to push the blue to grey and painted digitally in Photoshop. I should experiment with the paint technique more I know.

Thank you for any comments!

A study of line- Opinion please?

Above is a sketch I did and scanned into Photoshop. Have I mentioned that I love blue col-erase pencils? Anyway, I'm hoping to ask some opinions on what people like best for line treatment here. I could tell you which one I'm leaning toward, but I want to know what appeals most to others. I could spend more time cleaning up all of these, but want initial feedback. Soon, I hope to experiment with different painting styles on this as well.

Thanks so much for taking time to comment!

Here is some more of the lined style I'm working on. Just a study of a couple of friends having fun together.
