All right. This week I’m trying to tackle coloring some of the pieces in my portfolio that have been just black and white up until now. It’s great to see how the pieces come alive with color. The only bummer is that all of these pieces are crowd scenes, so they take FOREVER!

Here’s the first one I’ve finished, which was a donation piece for the ALA conference last summer.

For reference, here’s the two other pieces I need to color.

I’m hoping to have them finished this week so I can put them in my portfolio before any potential art directors that got my postcard look at my website.
