Artist's Choice and hello
Hello all, I've been a member of this blog for some time now but never actually managed to post anything to it (sorry!). So here's my first attempt:
These are some sketches and a coloured piece for a new book. These won't appear in the finished product, I'm just trying out characters and techniques. Drawings are in biro, coloured piece is all digital.
If you want to see more of my stuff follow the links below (if my website doesn't work, try again later, it's hosted on .Mac which is becoming MobileMe this week and keeps on not working)....

artist's choice
from Oh My! Ginny Fry! First Grade Trouble
by Gina Shaw, Scholastic Book Club, fall 2008
Artist's Choice
A couple fun summery sketches from my sketchbook. When I create new characters like these, I try to show a distinct personality in each one through the pose of the body, facial expression, hairstyles, clothing choices, eyebrows, the amount of body movement, and so on. There are so many wonderful ways to give your characters life and personality.
