So I was just playing around with an animal playing an instrument. It's fun to brush up on my digital painting with something different every once in a while.

Orchid in Pencil

Here is the second flower drawing for April. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I might add in a little background branch, but I'm not sure yet. If she doesn't want it then I'll just consider the drawing complete so I can move on to my next portrait project.

Orchid Drawing For April - Colored Pencil

I've been working on this colored pencil drawing for April. She needed some art for her website, so I have been drawing orchids this week. I really like how this one turned out. My next one is already started, it is a pencil drawing. We are creating flowers in different mediums so customers know what exactly we can do for them. April is also working on an acrylic painting.

E is for Elvis

This is a book I illustrated called "E is for Elvis". Each page has a different letter of the alphabet with a unique fact about Elvis. And even better each letter has it's own unique illustration! I did a lot of caricaturing for this book and it was a long process. It was very hard sometimes to capture the ideas of Elvis, while still being respectable. It was so fun to illustrate this book. I was honored that a few times the authors would even change the writing to fit an idea I had for an illustration. All of the artwork for this book was done digitally.

There are three authors, Lisa Rand, Jenny Ivey, and Calvin Dickinson, all of whom I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to work with. They had previously published another book called Tennessee Tales, but this was their first book working with an illustrator.
