Astrid playtime

As announced some weeks ago, I've been playing a little with children illustration! No deep research or project purpose, just fun. All non-digital (except for scanning and minor color adjustment). The one with the rabbit gave me problems, I only realized after the fact that I had bought cheap gouache paints! NOT worth it, they built up, and got thick, hard to handle. Here are 2 of the illustrations I've come up with. Open for feedback and suggestions!

Pencil, ink and gouache (cheap kind)


Cardboard. Pencil and oil pastels, a new kind! They look like make-up boxes, they're fun!

I really like the pastel mouse and duck, Astrid! The color of the cardboard adds a touch of warmth, and you did a great job with the windswept clouds. Very sweet illo.
