Changes

Okay, I was bothered by how the ugly duckling's face turned out (I am never 100% satisfied with any of the art I do!) but I decided to try to change it and this is how it turned out.
Is the first one better or the second?

Portfolio

Well, I finally got more done to add to my portfolio - this is the first in what will be a series of 3 illustrations from "The Ugly Duckling" by the wonderful Hans Christian Andersen. This is a digital photo of the original as it is 12"x18" (a spread for a 9x12 "book" - too big for my scanner) gouache on illustration board. I would really appreciate comments as I have yet to join a critique group locally!

Wedding - Illustration Friday

I actually did this for the SCBWI contest of "wacky wedding". I thought I had a cute idea, but I did not spend enough time on it so this is what I ended up with. I'm glad to be able to post it for IF! I'm currently working on portfolio stuff so I'll post those as I finish them and hopefully get some feedback. Thanks for looking!
