Panda lunch notes

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.

(Sometimes life elements just have to sneak into my illustrations. Genevieve’s duck is rarely not by her side, or mouth. Ha!)

(resposting this since it fits into the daily alphabet plan and it gave me time to do the title image for this challenge. Not to mention I absolutely adore it.)

Terribly hard to sketch kids in action. But I like the essence of it.

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.
