Animal Illustrations!
For my illustration class, our final project was a self directed assignment..
My choice was to illustrate an imaginary kid's book I've always hoped to write since I got my animals! Sort of showing off the cool/cute side of the critters that so many people are so afraid of! I think that all of creation is beautiful and awesome, and they all have unique talents. So the theme is sort of a wild circus, with the animals as the talented performers showing off their natural abilities(and being cute!)
I chose my own pets because, hey, they are awesome and my babies!
I also sort of went with circus because I had drawn a circus picture before and my teacher just loved how I drew it and wanted me to do that feeling again. But anyway
I did two "Spot" illustrations(just a figure, not a full page, where words would be around the image) and one full page illustration.
This would be early on in the book, with the little girl first getting a look at the scary "Monsters"!

Awww and they aren't so scary! This is sweet Bella all dressed up for her big show! 

And Nagini is looking gorgeous! I love how her pattern came out, this was pretty difficult to make it look like her pattern(ish) while keeping it in the simple style
I tried to make it LOOK like a kids book, and tried to keep simple shapes and have it rendered in a simple way..I really like how it came out, though I would like to go back and spend more time on it... And maybe someday finish it with the rest of my animals!
