I love how this gave me an opportunity to visually develop the characters and relationship of the mom and dad. 5/6
So all those vignettes got repurposed as snapshots of the parent's "vacation" on the end-page at the back of the book. 4/6
But the great part about picture books is that no good idea has to be abandoned completely. 3/6
In this book I had that happen right at the start with little brother immediately donning Nana’s hat before they had even pulled away from the curb.

It's true that learning never stops. Been trying out the Rebelle painting program. Worked up this watercolor mastercopy sketch recently.
A sharp-eyed reader might notice that when I illustrated THE FLYING MAN every time Otto Lilienthal created a new glider design I introduced it to the reader in the same way. Same pose, same composition same emotional keyword for that page of illustration.

As an illustrator, every so often you find yourself doing your interpretation of a beloved character.
(Especially if you make children's theater posters)

Trying out a new painting program that accurately mimics physical media. This is a test piece using watercolor, gouache and colored pencil. I gotta' say -- not bad at all!

There's nothing better than reaching that creative state when you are just "in the zone"
