New Project Post: Children's Book about BUGS!

I am having fun working on the book project about BUGS! At first glance the 

project subject intimidated me, because I had never drawn bugs before. But I am 

growing increasingly more pleased with the outcome the further along I get in the 

project. Who knew bugs would be so much fun!

A Sneak Peek at New Art

Its been a busy Spring here at Meant for a Moment... and I could not be more grateful. 

Here is a peek at some of the illustrations I am working on for a new book by 

Phil Sharper called, Santa was a Kid Once too. 

PROJECT PROGRESS: Ada Chewed Some Gum

My favorite part of my Job is when I am commissioned to illustrate a children's book.

 So when Thomas Knight approached me with his adorable book, 'Ada Chewed Some 

Gum' I was thrilled to par-take. This is just a snippet of what I have created for the

 book, to get everyone amped up for its release.

My Process is simple but it happens in a three stages. First I illustrate/sketch the 

characters and scene (sometimes together, sometimes separate). Than I ink the sketch 

over and scan the inked image. After its scanned, I touch up the inked lines and 

color it all in photoshop. It is a lengthy process but I have found this works best for me.

I can't wait to see it completed and formatted. How about you?

Ada Chewed Some Gum will be available soon here.
