Silent Night Lunch Bag

After Thanksgiving I change from the normal lunch bags with the story to bags that have illustrations from Christmas Carols, some are contemporary and some are traditional.  This is the first one with the information about the song.  I had thought about "Silent Night" for several years but had trouble trying to figure out an image that would work on the bag until I remembered the second stanza.

The bag is a traditional bag with col-erase pencil, Pitt Pens, Copic Markers, Calligrapher's ink, white gel pens and oil pastels

It is that time of year when the best laid plans come crashing around me.  I have been working on the Christmas Card off and on since July and am now just getting to finishing it up.  This year I wanted to set us up like we were on the cover of a Christmas album.  The top image is the back of the card, Santa has visited the house and dropped his cell phone while the dogs look at it receiving a call or text.  The bottom image is Sara's Mom in her Christmas outfit.  More to come soon I hope!

This started as a warm up sketch for working on the Christmas Cards, then I decided it was also a warm up for the digital colors.  Then I just had to finish the darn thing.  I grabbed an old computer study model I had done as the background image to finish it up or else this thing would have kept going.

This past week's lunch bag for my daughter, I tried using dark sepia pens for the line work, but it kind of washed everything out I think.  She has caught her parachute on an outcropping of debris and is trying to get down as the Locker Gnome looks on in panic.
