Heather D's Book of Whimsy

This month I was lucky enough to be able to draw in Heather's book, on the subject of whimsy. It struck me that there are fewer things more whimsical than unicorns and rainbows, and so I set about creating a drawing encompassing both. It came out much better than I thought it would, and was happy that I took the opportunity to use color in my drawing, which I rarely do.

Following are some of the pre-sketches I made before laying down my final thoughts, as well as a timelapse video of the drawing.

Guilty Pleasures for Leigh's Book

Guilty Pleasures for Leigh's book. Got this idea from an online source. I have an old iron and I burned the white background, but in the end, maybe the burns add something???

Play Is Soul Food (Erin Caskey)

I think the action and adventure in this scene captured the essence of soulful play. There are many layers of paint, markers, oil pastels, collage, collagraphs, and the list goes on and on to make this splash of movement.
