Finally... the long awaited finished sketch for "Leopoldo The Frog"



I'm going to try really hard to stick to my Saturday deadline in the coming weeks. I need to have 5 illustrations of Leopoldo done before April, and I've got one so far and two finished sketches. :) I welcome all comments.

Update:Typography.

version one


or version two.
Been working on designing a Happy Birthday card that pleases all audiences, for the Hallmark contest. I found that to be quite difficult, so I ended up doing so handwritten typography which I then vectored in illustrator. Now to determine colors. Plus, I think I may change the "y" on Happy because it is starting to bug me.

Leopoldo and company




Here's the supporting characters for my story about Leopoldo the frog. I started to work on the unfinished scene of my last post and then realized that I needed to research and design the swamp animals first.

Happy New Year!!


I hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve. This is just a really rough fast painting. Mainly just messing with the textures of brushes and paper texture. Trying new things.
