Fabric

Working on this next painting is really interesting,
because I'm doing a windy thing and the subject is wearing
clothes this time. Today was all about working
on putting texture in the blowy fabric.

How Does a Pirate Feel? Preview




For my niece Rebecca's birthday, I'm making a touch book - twelve pages, each with a different texture of fabric making up part of the illustration. The book is called "How Does a Pirate Feel?" and is all about... well. Duh.

I had the whole thing scanned today so that I can vectorize the images for reproduction - Becca gets the originals, but I've been encouraged from all sides to try to get this book more widely distributed and I'll be darned if I'm going to draw more than like... two of these from scratch. But anyway. Here is a preview of a few of those hand-drawn pages!






Sometimes, a pirate feels embarassed!
