B is for balloons, bears, and bifocals. At this rate I may finish this book by the time he is in college.

WIP Shelter,
I’m experimenting with color but I don’t have anything together enough to post it here yet. Part of me wants to give the girls each a contrasting color scheme, like oranges and browns for fox and whites and blues for rabbit, but I haven’t gotten that to look good. It pops out fox, who really should be curled within rabbit, not distracting from her.
Anyway as always I will blog it as soon as I’ve gotten something workable. In the meantime, deeper shadows:

WIP Shelter, softening up
So the story behind this one. Miabella Foxley approached me some time ago asking me to do a custom piece for her brand mfox. She was looking for concepts with animal masks, rabbits and foxes specifically, and this is my take on it so far. She’s asked other artists, but I don’t know who they are! When I get a list at some point I will link to the others, it should be interesting to see what can be done with it.
I’ve finished the sketch and today I’ve been doing a kind of ambient shading before I get to shadows and color. I might pull forward some of the line art again in places where I’m getting a little too messy. smudge smudge smudge.

More progress on the flag WIP
My plan for today was to work a lot on the flag wip and finish the sketch base on Shelter or Douglas (probably Shelter first as someone is waiting on that) but a whole lot of stuff happened including getting locked out of the house and having to call a locksmith from my neighbor’s cell phone. My neighbor is super nice, by the way, and I wish I had brought him a pie when he moved in. Except that any pie I baked would probably be so ruined it’d be poison… all that time I should have been learning to cook I spent doodling.
Anyway, I will have to extend my plans into tomorrow as well. Flag is almost done and Shelter is calling. Douglas is stuck on the top of his hill and will wait for me in abject terror.

Flag girl color continued
At some point in the process on every image I create I check “Sample All Layers” on blur and smudge and I don’t look back. Everything from this point on is additive and worked on one layer. This is where it starts to feel like painting.
