Why did the Chicken cross the road?

To follow the breadcrumb tail of course.  A new Illustration for my children's book illustration class, with a Hansel and Gretel twist on an old joke.

Also some value and color studies plus character development for the chicken.  Finale in watercolors and gouache.


I'm Starting another Blog on Tumblr at kayla3dgar.tumblr.com , I plan to keep up with that one hopefully a little more than on here so be sure to check it out!

Philosophy Caricatures

3 caricatures of employees at philosophy communication I did during my internship.  They were for teams of three so each one is kind of a morphed version of three people at once.  A different way to think of mascots and good practice with figuring out people's stand out features.

children's book?

I'll be in a children's book illustration class soon and I'm trying to get a head start on what to do....Still 
a lot of planning for the plot but here's some character sketches and a color finish of the look and style of the main character.  Super psyched to get into this more!

Jelly-Limbed Peeps

I'm trying out new styles and methods for illustration so I experimented with a couple of sketches I did of friends and tried out new digital techniques playing with lots of textures.  And Jelly-limbed seemed appropriate because for some reason lately I like drawing people without proper bone structures.  Their just more squishy and fun!
