Very rough, and currently full of Fail...
I had to sit through a couple of hours of meetings this week, so of course that means I sketched (I do listen. Really. I even take notes. I just also draw). My agents are asking us to submit a holiday self-promo piece, the theme is
"Caroling".
For my children's-illustration-genre-prone brain, that could mean young angels...
...or Victorian mice?
..or how about something that could potentially cross-over into the fantasy market?
..but my brain seems to stall out here. Boring, boring compositions....
... and the contents get younger the more variations I attempt... alas...
Let's brain-storm from here, shall we? Taking suggestions.....
Tried to push the stylizing a bit. (there were kids sitting behind me watching. They didn't think I captured the essence of the people I was drawing at all... Needs work apparently).
Also did another "Caroling"/winter promo idea sketch. It's fairly simple. And decorative (which I always seem to like). Still has a medieval flair, even if not particularly fantastical... I like this better than the other approaches thus far...
