@burvantill that's awesome. Good luck 
I'm working on a children's book with an independent publisher here in India. It's a short term project (~2 months) but I'm still excited since it's my first publishing contract 
There's a lot I have learnt over the past few months after joining SVS and now I've finally started planning my official portfolio. I have a couple of pieces I need to rework and a couple of new concepts which I need to start from scratch. It's all so overwhelming:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: !
@Braden-Hallett when you approach the silhouettes for these characters how do you do it? Trees are easier for me. Do you have a character design in mind, and then add shapes or how do you build your silhouette? Thanks I know this is a gallery, it’s not a critique it’s a question lols.

Be blessed,
It depends! Sometimes I'll use the silhouette for more of a pose, sometimes I'll try and really figure out the shape of the characters. Sometimes I'll do a sihl for pose and then a sihl overtop for the actual silhouette. I'll usually do little studies for faces, interesting props and stuff before putting them together.
@Heather-Boyd Great question!
@Braden-Hallett Thanx for sharing this process! This is great stuff. =)x
Thanks for keeping this going every month! I haven’t been a regular participant in the forums or the contest in a long time but posting here keeps me motivated to keep working and (when I find time) participate more. This little guy is the latest of my flash card project.

I am combining my January contest entry with a postcard mailer that i promised myself that I would get done this month. I narrowed down my thumbnails this morning and did a value and color sketch. Time to art this baby! .. and then mail it before I get cold feet.
