What are You Hiding? Middle Grade Illustration


I decided to try my hand again with another monochromatic drawing, in blue this week, following the #colour_collective color prompt, Pewter Blue. I had fun playing with Procreate 4 while creating this one. I'm trying to decide if I like the messy look and line work, but overall I'm happy with this as a middle grade illustration.

Can you see the dragon?

On another note, check out my guest post, Draw What You Know and Know More by Drawing, over at Dani Duck Artist Obscure as part of the Smart Dummies contest this month. Hopefully there's some helpful tips there about researching and drawing. There's also a prize available from Bryony Supper. Go check it out.

  1. ^There's a story there, also... The female looks distressed. Do tell.

    1. Thanks Mirka, I'm not sure what their story is ... yet. These characters and that little dragon just sort of showed up as I was doodling. I know the girl is afraid for the dragon and the prince is deciding if he will help.
