Kids book illustrations- MAYBE?



Quick character designs and concept sketches for potential project-either way I really like the cigar bunnies....

50TH BDAY LIVE PARTY SAMPLES!

OK-this was one of my Favorites!-
The idea was at 1st glance, maybe 4-5 seconds, What is the most dominant feature of all the faces? DEFINITELY the guy on the left's NOSE-it was a no-brainer...UNTIL the fella on the right sat down-he wasn't in my 1st scan of shapes & sizes, he came late-BUT his CHIN was the CLEAR winner in this new geometric Wonderland-sooo I originally was going to have him and his sister share that chin but it just didn't catch the feel of him w/o the rough stubble sooo now his chin is hiding her face instead, except for her smile-which really stood out-methinks...

Wound up drawing the same peeps cuppla times-I always try to take a different approach when this happens-changing the views profile/ 3/4 or expressions..often it ends up being a caricature of the 1st caricature-which is what eventually happens to my friends w/ the green shirt and nose and the glasses & teeth kid-BWAAAAHAHAHAH!!

LLLLOTSA FUN at this 50th bday bash!
They were big fans of the CRAZIER stuff-and a lot of GREAT faces for it!
I'm starting to really like doing groups more than singles-especially w/ this wide variety of shapes/ expression!
Congrats and Thanks so much for the sore gut from LAUGHING!
THanks Deb!
