Whew! Just made the deadline for the SCBWI contest. This month's them was Santa Who? Illustrate Santa as you have never seen him or her before. SCBWI is the Society For Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. The monthly illustration contests are open to members and non-members. It's fun and it helps keep me motivated to complete new illustrations.

Stressed Out!-Finished Color

Well, I finally finished it. Feels good. Can't wait to start the next one.

Stressed Out! (in progress)

I've been trying out colored pencils and I really like them. I used to use them years ago. Wonder why I stopped? Anyway, no mixing of paints, you get the exact color you want. I'm gonna try a few illos using these suckers.
