08 Mar Easter Coloring Book

Posted at 16:03h in Drawing by

I illustrated (and designed) my first coloring book!

Was that on my bucket list? Yes it was, without me realizing it because it sure felt good to get this done. From sketching stage to illustration, to design and production, this was a lot of fun.
It’s a little sad without color, but the characters are happy—as most children’s books characters are. I recently received the Prismacolor pencils, so a special thanks to my art “benefactors” they were finally put to use as I colored a few pages. I’m hoping to get some pencil illustrations done soon, since they are just great—no crayons for me!

This is very different from my usual style, peppy and simplified, with a very different line quality I usually work in. However, the product and audience dictates style and direction. It shows you that an artist (or at least this one) can easily adapt beyond their usual style.

So you can finally see the busy bees on the cover!
There are more images, a preview into character development, and the full book on my website.

You can also see it live here where I’m credited in the “Behind the story.”
