SOFT
At a recent school visit I was asked to caricature the teaching staff. When I do caricatures, I prefer to work in soft graphite, as opposed to ink. Most of my caricatures are done in full color. Now that means Photoshop.

Soft
Those water wings are supposed to soften the blow of jumping in, but the water still looks scary to this little one.
I posted some sketches from my sketchbook this week on my blog. Swim over and check them out: http://kristivaliant.blogspot.com

Wild
A WILD adventure!
I created this illustration for my chapter/middle grade book illustration portfolio. I'd like to make this into a cover illustration sample by adding a made-up title to it. Any ideas for a title? If so, please leave them in the comments on my blog: http://kristivaliant.blogspot.com/2008/05/illustration-friday-wide.html
Thanks!

Pluviophobia is the fear of rain. Poor lil' duckling - rain is an everyday thing.

Artist's Choice
Today marks 10 years of my being a full-time freelancer, so its kind of a celebration. I did this piece as a promo and I'll be sending it out as a poster announcing my "anniversary." I wanted to create a piece that reflects what I think making a living as an illustrator is like: exhilarating, scary, dramatic, there's always something to reach for. Go to my blog fabulousillustrator.com to read the whole story.
