CBIG - Children's Book Illustrators Group

The Illustration Friday prompt this week is nose, so of course I thought of the old Froot Loops commercials with Toucan Sam following his nose (because it always knows). Though even as a kid, I knew that Sam's nose was really his beak. I was inspired to paint two characters from my current picture book project following two toucans while wearing toucan noses: I also posted another nose painting (of Little Red Riding Hood) for Illustration Friday on my blog.  Click here to see it.

This winter's red riding hood is a bit different from other paintings on the subject.  As little red had never seen a wolf before she had no idea how evil one could be.

The CBIG prompt for this month, friends, and the Illustration Friday prompt this week, vocal, worked well with an old color sketch I did of a moose and girl. I made a few changes and polished up the art, and here it is: The girl and her moose friend love to sing and dance!   Please visit my website, sruble.com , to learn more about my art and writing projects.

I’ve been painting tiny pictures lately (see the elephant here and the bunnies here ), in order to fit painting for fun into my schedule. My third tiny painting was a girl blowing a bubble with her bubblegum. I broke out my watercolors and colored pencils and painted a picture so horrible that I had to rip it up. Seriously. All it takes to ruin a small watercolor painting is a couple of misplaced brush strokes. However, I still liked the sketch, so I made the bubblegum girl into a digital illustration.
