Illustration, Character Design

Samples from a recent children's book illustration project.

For my latest creative project, I was fortunate to illustrate a wonderful children's book about learning responsibility. The book stars two lovable characters named Rock and Rhino and is the first in a series of 12 books that teaches children the importance of manners. More importantly it show's children how to be "ROCKSTARS" and not "Whiney Rhineys!” Look for the book at your local book store or check it out online:
I also wanted to post a few images showcasing my work in the book. Click on the thumbnails below for larger samples. For those of you interested in the technical aspects of the work, the illustrations shown are a hybrid. They began as pencil sketches that were scanned into the computer and then painted digitally using Photoshop. I love painting with traditional media including watercolor and acrylics and find it to be a fun experience to replicate those techniques digitally.
