A little risky fellow has tangled himself up on this tiger’s tail. We will have to see if this tiger’s interested expression is based on hunger or playful curiosity. This is the color comp for my twoodle from last week. Ah! I did it again didn’t I? I got behind on posts, this should haveContinue reading “Opossum wants to play with Tiger”

Cowboy on a Parrot
I am so grateful for Alicia starting Twoodle. It has been a wonderful exercise for making new illustrations and finding new members of the community. Thank you for pulling us all together. This is my finished illustration of last week’s twoodle, cowboy and parrot. For my current twoodle go to my tumblr to see myContinue reading “Cowboy on a Parrot”
the Fun Part
“getting there is half the fun; come share it with me” – Kermit As I work my way back into an illustrating routine which, is guaranteed to be interrupted again in just 8 weeks, I have changed up my color comp stage. Instead of using the computer or watercolors, I am working with wet pastels.Continue reading “the Fun Part”
Hiccup
Well, the regular scheduled programing of my blog has fallen to the wayside again. I’m afraid I am going to have to admit defeat of keeping up with it at least until mid June. Work, other responsibilities, and being a mom are all asking for the whole amount of my time right now. As weContinue reading “Hiccup”
Final Page
“Criss Cross Apple Sauce!” A T Rex sitting cross legged. That was a mind twister to draw. Bringing the book to a close I wanted to have a few of the dinos from the book give one last look to the read. I’m now on the fence deciding if I want to get aContinue reading “Final Page”
Sleepy Plesiosaurs
Did you know technically Plesiosaurs weren’t dinosaurs? They were large swimming reptiles instead. I feel I should say “were” because, of all of the currently believed sitings they really couldn’t have happened. Sadly scientific evidence doesn’t support it. This doesn’t stop me from hoping they still exist today. However, with all of the stories IContinue reading “Sleepy Plesiosaurs”
Dino Yoga
Continuing with making animals do yoga here is a Euoplocephalous in downward dog. I chose to put this specific dinosaur in a yoga pose because generally when I see him, he seems very stiff and immobile which, in reality probably isn’t the case. I’m sure those back legs have a good deal of flexibility forContinue reading “Dino Yoga”
Gallimimus Playing Tag
I like to make my base drawings in a reddish hued pencil. I feel I can better build up my line. I enjoyed this for the Gallimimus as I wanted to give them feathers, since it seems very likely they had them. The lighter pencil color lent itself well to the creation ofContinue reading “Gallimimus Playing Tag”
Brachiosaurus Mama and Baby
I think some variation of a long necked mama and a baby is in everyone’s mind. In part because that long neck is so fun to loop in your drawing and second because this is a large animal with it’s tiny offspring. I blame my childhood plastic Brachiosaurus toy for why every Brachiosaurus I drawContinue reading “Brachiosaurus Mama and Baby”
Begging Dino
This isn’t any breed of dinosaur in particular. He just came to mind while I was sketching. He’s definitely a mixed breed, big human-like toes, puppy attitude and feathery covering. I feel like you can see a Seussian influence as well. Seuss was definitely the first children’s book illustrator I started mimicking when IContinue reading “Begging Dino”
Mirror Image
I can’t get enough Parasaurolophus, they are my favorite dinosaur. That love to see many of them is what spurred the idea to draw them reflecting. Their shape is just marvelous to me, they are the center dinosaur below. This was another piece that I started early then rushed the finish. I feel if IContinue reading “Mirror Image”
