Color Studies

Some quick little tests for my illustration class. After one of these is picked I'll take it to a complete watercolor finish.

Children's book layouts

Two lighting studies for my children's Illustration class. I'll be taking the second one to a full finish soon.

Finished Jack and the Beanstalk

I'm happy I finished this, but not 100% happy with how it turned out. It was a good learning experience, having only been using watercolors for a week now, and this being the 6th or 7th watercolor illustration I've ever done.

Steps in my illustration painting

Took some photos along the way of drawing and painting my final illustration for jack and the beanstalk. I'll add the final scan once I get down to the school in the morning.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Here is my jack and the beanstalk illustrations. We had to pick a moment in the story, then illustrate the before, during, and after images for that moment.

Illustration stuff

Having some fun adding a little narrative to my illustrations.

So far

Most of my illustration work is done now. All 3 images are about 80% done. Here is the little lemonade stand that i'm going to be using.

Thiumbnails and sketches

Finally got all my stuff done and made into a PDF for class tonight. I'm happy with the way these turned out.

First round of thumbnails

Here is my first small batch of thumbnails for the children's book illustration class. I'm liking 4, 5, and 7.
