Here is my entry for this month. I have been busy with other projects, and didn't get to do the last two months...but I wanted to get at least one Yeti in before the theme changes.

This is my first of three character sheets for Inktober. I have not posted it to critique arena yet, because I want to decide which to submit once I finish the other two. These characters are from a middle grade novel I am currently working on. I decided to draw them for Inktober because I need to flesh them out a bit.

Here is my entry for STAR!
I am really busy this month... so I had to combine the contest prompt with trying to get any Christmas illustrations done this year.

I just wanted to share some exciting news! A book I illustrated last year was nominated, and shortlisted for the IODE Jean Throop Award. It is a self published book, but it is shortlisted with 4 other books, one by Scholastic and three by Kids Can Press. What an honor to be listed with these big publishers!! Here are a couple of illustrations from the book. If you are interested the book is called SCRUB: HOW SIMPLE SOAP SAVED THE DAY and was written by Suzanne Belliveau.

Oh, I think it worked this time.
My submission for the January contest prompt.

Here is my second Frost Pirate character sheet. This guy has a pet penguin who I love. I have to say, working out these illustrations has really been helping me flesh out the characters for writing the book. I think I may continue doing this for character in future novels!

BIG TROUBLE!!! The school bus is never the best way to transport your projects to school!
Digital art in Photoshop.

My first, of hopefully many, fall/halloween projects. I rushed to get this one done this morning so I can get started on Inktober.

Here is my entry for 'Nightfall'. I decided to keep the canoe. I am not sure if it qualifies, but I was also attempting the "Draw 50 Things" drawing from Will's video. At one point I did count, and had more than 50 items, but I am now sure if 50 of them made it through the final edits. If anyone wants to count, let me know!

My Third (and final) character sheet submission for this month's contest. Now that I have all of these characters ready to go, I can't wait for October 1st!

Ughhh... who knew what a struggle this would be.
I think I am finished with it now. Maybe?

Ok, here is the edit so far. It still has a lot of work to go... but how are my colors now?

Thanks Everyone!
I have done a quick edit using just the fill tool to roughly bring the front, middle and back ground into the same saturation level... does this look better? I am going to go back to the line drawing and repaint the whole thing... but am I on the right track? Also I will try and spread the falling stuff out of the square when I sit down to rework it.

I really like it. The story is really good. I also like the girl and the mushroom characters. I am not sure if you are finished or if this is a sketch, but I think it will look a lot better if you draw out the blades of grass closest to the camera, rather than just having the hatch lines. The hatch lines are great for the background grass, but the stuff right up close to the viewer should be in more detail.

Hi Guys,
I have been working on this for a while with the idea of adding it to my portfolio. I thought it was finished yesterday, but this morning I am thinking something still looks off. Is it the color of the canoe? Is the stuff tied to the top of the camper just all to dark?
