Needs work but going into my next children’s book 📕:)

Still very rough :) still trying to land on the color scheme. Sometimes I have trouble staging consistent with color from page to page.

Might be in my next book :) any feedback?

I've finished the illustration I talked about yesterday. Not 100% what I intended, but happy with this first try in this style of digital painting. I am aware that the biggest part of why it is not a complete success is the pose. Poses are so difficult!

Between jobs I like experimenting with new styles in my personal work. Not planning on changing my main style (that’s what gets me card-drawing gigs), but it’s fun to see what else I can do. Pirate themes have always been my go-to for drawing from imagination. No idea why, the era just fascinates me. I started the sketch today, and over the next few days I’ll try finishing it. Wish me luck! Question for the group: I learned a rule once in a course: 80% of character art is the character itself, 20% is making it stand out with gear, strange features, special equipment. What do you think?
