ROLL OVER!


(Click on thumbnail for full image)

Well, what could be more crowded than 10 in a bed? Remember that children's song? That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this week's Illustration Friday topic.

There were 10 in the bed when the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
There were 9 in the bed when the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
There were 8 in the bed...
You get the idea!
I think it ends with:


There were 2 in the bed when the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
There was 1 in the bed and the little one said, "Good Night!"

Mrs. Calabash...


This is a character for a children's book I've written (but probably won't illustrate since I hear they don't like it when first time authors want to also be first time illustrators - besides, I'm not sure it's illustration quality). She was sketched and colored in Open Canvas, and then I did the background and shadow in Photoshop. Comments welcome. She's near and dear to my heart - her story has been in my heart and mind for over 6 years now and I have finally decided to submit (and face rejection head on).

Illustration Friday - BLOOM



(Click on thumbnail for detailed image) I wanted to do a variation on flowers... just a quick doodle in Open Canvas.
