This week the school books have blocked the school and it looks like the only way that Sara can help her friends is to go through the Social Studies books, and solve a mystery from history.

This week's bag is a little departure trying to de-emphasize the background for a change.  Sara and the Dry Erase Elves are searching for the missing elf.

The bag with the color added, way too much hatching, it took longer to hatch than it did to draw or render the bag.

Here are two bags that got produced last week.  The top one is for my daughter to take to school on Friday, she is making her way into the depths of the locker and finding out what is hidden in there.  

The second bag is for her aftercare teacher who wanted to give it to her granddaughter in Colombia.

Both are done with col-erase pencils, copic markers, pitt pens, white gel pens and oil pastels.

I haven't watched Dr. Who in a long time, but my son has really gotten into the most recent iteration.  For the school year he has asked for drawings in his lunch on Friday's. Last year there were a lot of dragons, so this year I am hoping to branch out some.  This is pencil and pen on illustration board sketch card (about the size of a baseball card) with copic markers and some oil pastels for the glow.

On the boards - next step

This is the inked stage of the t-shirt commission.  I am going to adjust the trees behind the boat and get some more wildlife into the image.

On the Boards

This is a work in progress photo of what is on the board right now that I can show.  Other stuff in progress, but this is a promotional image that will be used for a client appreciation event for an architectural/engineering firm.  Their theme is "Low Country Boil", so a shrimp boat is docked at the pier with the bridge in the background.  More to come later!

Here are the colors on the Miriam character, trying to flesh out the characters and get them to live in the spaces that the story revolves around.
