A Red Dragon Battles A Rabbit Knight


Here is the latest illustration I painted.  I did all the line work on my cintiq companion and I painted on 11" by 17" coldpress watercolor paper using fluid acrylics.  It is a fun piece to think about as far as color is concerned.  I am going to illustrate my own children's book, this painting is a step in the right direction.  I will keep the writing and the story very simple.  Not sure how long it will be but I would like to have between 24 and 30 pages.  The process will be as follows: writing, thumbnails, drawing, painting and finally placing text.  A project like this will take a lot of time but I have been wanting to do something like this for quite awhile now.  I will post each illustration as I finish them.
