all good and bad

Sofus, Morrie and Mr. Evil

I'm currently doing an exchange year here in New Zealand, and have been given the opportunity to write and illustrate a children's book! It is for two boards I'm supposed to finish in Art Design (a subject I swapped to last week). The task is not to create the whole book, but to kind of showing the process of what could be a real book. But I have and still am, longing to create a real book. So I'm going for the whole thing. I'll try to update with some progress shots here, so stay tuned :)

My two main characters, Sofus (top) and Morrie (bottom).

Mr. Evil (the triangle) and his two made-from-the-same-malefic-material siblings.

I also have to create different designs for Morrie and Sofus. I've already decided on which to use (the two first drawings), but I have to pretend that I'm going through a process here. So this is real kitty Morrie.

Blogger won't let me upload my pictures, so I have to use tinypic. Sorry for the large images! Most of these are from my pretty little sketchbook, and some of them are a bit wonky since I made them on bus/train rides.

all the humans

this is why i like to practice humans in secret. they all look the same, with the same bland, emotionless expression on their faces. Sometimes I get frustrated, so I try to spice them up a bit. that never results in an happy ending.

proper art up and coming. by proper, I mean sketches (haha, gotcha!)
