Some figure sketches from this week. #visdev #characterdesign #lifedrawing #figuredrawing

One of my pieces for 'Illusion', which took a different turn. Couldn't decide on the palette but now I think I much prefer the blue! For #folktaleweek2023✨ #childrensbookillustration #picturebookillustration #kidlitart #visdev #visualdevelopment #characterdesign #portfolioday #folktaleweek

Couple sketches of my character from my 'Found' piece for @folktaleweek. Should finish it up later in the week. #folktaleweek2023 #folktaleweek #visdev #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensbookart #picturebookart #characterdesign
