Learning how to strike a balance with detail. I'm super inspired by the way @ged_adamson layers his illustrations, leaving room for imagination. My brain fills in any blanks, & what's more convincing to my brain than my brain? Revisiting this spread with that idea.🙂

I loved this sweet #dtiys challenge from, @ peachys_pages over on IG! It was super fun to experiment with new colors and new markers.
This is also the first time I'm seeing my own style clearly. I'm working on developing my style, so this is encouraging.

Color!!! I'm intrigued by slightly clashing combos that lightly vibrate next to each other. It's something I've seen a lot in kids' clothes lately.
Working in digital/traditional hybrid helps, but anyone else find the color-picking stage 🤔😬😅?

Color choice is always a challenge. Years of brand marketing got my brain used to staying within certain parameters. It's exciting (& a little scary) to try things & see what happens. Combining traditional with digital is helping a lot 🙂

Continuing #cat #illustration experiments. Acquainted myself with realistic anatomy for better understanding of proportion. Then took a break from that to play with looser styles. Still feel stuck in the middle ground. I want to be less literal. Any suggestions? #kidlitart
Okay, #5amwriterslub, I know checking social channels before writing that first word can cause the abrupt, unintentional end of actually #writing, but the meme my friend shared this morning ended up being inspiration for a new #picturebook manuscript!😃 #kidlit #WritingCommunity
Thinking a trip to the #library is in order! Any #BookRecommendations for #picturebooks about #childhood #friendships in the digital age?

#Mermay Day 20: #Groove
This vintage loving #mermaid is grooving with her guitar fish and trumpet fish friends! (Also, did you know that two fingers in front of the eye move is called the #Batusi and comes from the #Batman TV show?! 😃)

#Mermay Day 18: #Original
I'm using Hans Christian Andersen's tale as inspiration for today's painting. This is when she throws herself into the sea expecting to turn back into a mermaid and then into seafoam, but instead becomes a being of the air
