Too busy...that's good, right?
Well, I've been really busy illustrating 3 books this summer. I haven't had time for any recreational drawing unbelievably. Hence my posts have been non-existent. I apologize. I'm not supposed to share things that are in current progress really but here's one sneak peak at an illustration from the book I wrote myself contracted by Marshall Cavendish Publishing. I'm painting like a madwoman to finish it up by this weekend. Wish me luck! This book has been years in the making. It's fun to see it coming together.

Awesome!! I love it! The texture of the grass in the foreground is great - did you accomplish that with salt? And the subtle patterns in the background are lovely. Nice job1
ReplyDeleteIt was done with salt. The subtle patterns are done in photoshop with a stamp brush on a faded out layer. Thanks for the compliments!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Julie! I'm sure it will be great--just like your others. I'll have to buy it when it's all done. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustration Julie :o) Good luck with your first author/illustrator book release, I am sure it will be worth the many years of work.
