The Picture Book Junkies have started a monthly challenge where we all illustrate the same theme. It's a great chance for us to take stock of our portfolios and marketing materials, and fill in the holes.
This month, the theme was "growth." I've been so busy with client work, that I haven't really had a chance to just experiment and play, so I took the opportunity to try out a new brush in Painter.
Take a peek at the other Junkies' takes on the theme:
- Laura Logan
- Patrice Barton
- Roz Fulcher
- Paige Kieser
- Heather Powers
- and Emily, our Honorary PBJ
So cute Janee!!

I like how you used the theme to grow yourself by experimenting with a new brush. Funny little guy here, love that look on his face!

Adorable Janee! I love the painterly look, and his hair is nicely rendered - like soft fluffy hiar.

I vote yours as the winner!
I bought Painter 9 but haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet.
I like how it can mix the paints together in brushstrokes... that's one thing Photoshop can't do.
Very inspiring... as usual.
