After painting cute stuff all day for kid's books you start getting a little crazy...or maybe it's just me (probably just me). I started drawing a bunch of little zombie characters for some Halloween illustrations to clear my brain. Here's a quick gouache sketch of one of them. More band mates to come.

Here's a few sample sketches made for a really exciting upcoming kid's book project I'm working on. They were a blast to draw up and I can't wait to draw and paint the finals. I had absolutely no idea how many different breeds of dogs there were until I picked up some serious reference to draw from. Their shapes, posture and size really make for a fun exercise in gesture AND there's so much room to exaggerate!
