Did another pass of my campfire sketch. I replaced the older male (see below) with a more teenage camp counselor. Much better, more relatable. I'm really looking forward to finishing the illustration. Dave www.davidhillmanill.com

some great advice from my picture book art rep, I totally revised my campfire story concept. In the first illustration I changed the shot angle for a more dramatic effect, and stripped down the details so there’s room for text, makes for a more clearer story. Enjoy. Dave www.davidhillmanill.com

My goal now is to illustrate new concepts over the winter and refresh my portfolio. This idea is more suitable for YA or middle-grade readers, but it would be good to have in the portfolio. www.davidhillmanill.com #picturebooks #childrensbooks #picturebookillustration #youngadult #middlegradebooks

New sketch idea for the Picture book portfolio. This will make for a very cool looking final. Dave www.davidhillmanill.com #picturebooks #childrensbooks #picturebookillustration

I have to constantly freshen up my picture book portfolio, so I'm always coming up with new ideas. As a young boy, I always loved going on my class trip to the museum. Doing this as a vector illustration will be a fun challenge. later Dave www.davidhillmanill.com

The last of my Holiday Cardinal Illustrations is done! Really happy with how this all turned out. Enjoy Dave www.davidhillmanill.com

Cardinal with Snowman. 2nd of 3 in my new Holiday surface design collection. This came out cuter than I thought it would. All artwork done in Adobe Illustrator. One more to go. Dave www.davidhillmanill.com

The first of three pieces in my new Holiday cardinals collection. I had to focus on not making it too cartoony. All artwork was created in Adobe Illustrator. Not too shabby. Dave www.davidhillmanill.com
