Concept Sketches

Helping a friend with her picture book.
Rough prelim sketches....

Queen Isabella & Jester Todd

Queen Isabella & Jester Todd
in pastels and colored pencil on
Ampersand's white Pastelbord.

Fluffim Mouse

Illustrated in pastels on Ampersand's Pastelbord sand colored surface. No story attached to Fluffim, yet.

Myrtle & Moe

Pastel illustration of my characters Myrtle, the cat,
and Moe, the pug. I find that naming my characters
 in an illustration breathes life into them even before
 a story is ever written.

You can find Myrtle & Moe on tote bags and mugs
at my store on Zazzle.

Pastels

I love working in pastels lately. Especially the quality I'm getting on the clay-colored and sand-colored Pastelbords by Ampersand.
