My favorite part of this painting is the white head. I imagined a frost dragon might have a constant fog around her head, and in the right lighting you'd get a rainbow.
That's what happens when you hire children's book illustrators to paint your dragon—pretty rainbows.

Drawing a dragon head is like drawing a fancy car—there's a lot going on, and it's easy to mess up the perspective. I feel pretty good about how these turned out, but with distance I'm starting to see the flaws.

That first one was part of my editorial portfolio, and the second was just a class exercise, but here’s one of my mid-nineties attempts at a children’s book piece, some five years before I’d break into that industry.

Boy, does this look cute.
A lot of illustrators on here will know Ben Zhu from Gallery Nucleus, and he's made his first picture book! You can get signed copies here: https://t.co/FOtV1TFyEj

I just ran across this piece I did for a Covid kid's book called SHARE YOUR RAINBOW back in May—which seems longer ago than it is. I thought I'd post it because it's me and my son, and a direction I've been trying to move my digital painting toward lately.

Taking advantage of what I *think* is a brief respite from fresh and terrible news to mention once again that I make books.
My newest is ON ACCOUNT OF THE GUM and this is one of its pages.
Okay, happy Sunday.

I loosely painted up this first one and managed to sell a publisher on the book, but the expression changed during the editorial process. I kept getting it wrong.

And I added some pink swirl to screen them back in Photoshop until they were ready for the endpapers and the aforementioned spread.

So this started out as a rough sketch, as everything does.

@misskubelik You've got me thinking about this, since I realize I've been failing at it in my own work. But I also wanted to potentially put this one on your radar: THE OBOE GOES BOOM BOOM BOOM.
