Tiny hedgehog

February 12, 2020May 13, 2020 | Caryn

Tiny hedgehog keeps showing up in my sketchbook. Seems to be into some deep reading and relational studies.

Some of my favorite panda lunch notes for my Kindergartener’s Friday lunches. Pandas are her favorite and have become a character I draw for her named Pandy after her favorite stuffy.

Revisiting a super old character of mine just for fun. This is Rupert. And he loves my umbrella, even on a super windy fall day.

Making Art Everyday: Mouth

Next experimentation with mouths. Need some work, but good to explore.

Making Art Everyday: Nose

August 3, 2019May 13, 2020 | Caryn

More experimenting today. This time with noses. You wouldn’t think there would be that many variations on noses!

Making Art Everyday: Eyes

August 2, 2019May 13, 2020 | Caryn

Experimenting with eyes. I didn’t realize I had this many variations in me! Quite the fodder for future character creation.

About Caryn

I’ve always wished I was a superhero of some sorts with a flashy and unfashionable costume. Instead I’m a wife, mom and children’s book illustrator. Here I post about illustration and other random things I love. I’m obsessed with picture books, owning over 700 and I’m passionately blogging about them at threebooksanight.com.
