I've been practicing some sports poses with children. I'm liking these and will take them into final art soon. I like sports poses because they are so full of movement and they tell an immediate story the second you view them.

And here is Avery, the main male character and love of Princess Sabrina in Princess Sabrina and the Pot of Gold children's book I illustrated. Written by @michaelpellico and printed by @moonbowpublishing. A model sheet showing some of his expressions and body language in the book.

Another model sheet showing a primary character in Princess Sabrina and the Pot of Gold children's book written by @michaelpellico, printed by @moonbowpublishing and illustrated by (me). This character was one of the American boys that came accompanied his friend to Ireland where the adventure began. His name is Elias and I had a lot of fun with his expressions and body language in the book.

One of my favorite characters that I designed for Princess Sabrina and the Pot of Gold children's book written by @michaelpellico and illustrated by me. The first one is a model sheet showing some expressions and body language of the evil Leprechaun King. The other illustrations are closeups of him!

Character design of "the" main character Princess Sabrina from the children's book called Princess Sabrina and the Pot of Gold. Here is a model sheet showing some expressions and poses used in the book. The other illustration is a close-up of Princess Sabrina the Leprechaun Princess.

Here's another illustration from the children's book I illustrated about a baby elephant that farted a lot. It was a charming moment in the story when the little girl shows her affection for her unusual and gaseous pet (the baby elephant) and the normal choice of pets the other children had.

After yesterday's post about a children's book I illustrated about a baby elephant that farted...I mentioned that I had to think about what a fart would look like if you could see the fart... then I had to do that again because that depiction was for a children's book... and this is what I came up with... for those of you that are older, remember the nursery song "beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot"?

This are some early sketches for a children's book I illustrated. I don't remember what the book was called. It was going to be printed only in Poland. It was about a baby elephant that farted a lot. The bottom left one shows him in the process of farting (without the embellishment I put in the final illustration). And yes, I actually had to think about what a fart would look like if you could see it... hmmmmm....

Found some of my early sketches for my "Shopping Girls". I enjoy sketching a variety of poses to make sure I get a pose that speaks to the story that I am trying to convey with the illustration.

Time to change things up a bit. I decided to show some sketches. I usually sketch on a traditional drawing table using graphite pencils, and then scan the sketch to finish illustrating on computer. This was a character sketch of a very dapper bear singing and acting cool... The chicken heads were exploratory for another project...

And here are the final two illustration I'm going to show for this board game I illustrated. It was a really fun game, that had a very serious undertone and message to convey. These two illustrations are dealing with litter on the highways. Make sure to look at both illustrations to get the full impact.

Here are two more board game illustrations I'm showing for a game about global warming and other problems mankind is causing the planet. It was a really fun game but had a very serious and timely message. I'm not sure how the flooding of this yard equates to the game's concept, but it was really fun to illustrate! Make sure you lookat both to get the full impact.
