I haven't been posting lately -- I've been busy at work and I've been preparing for Illustrator's Day 2009, sponsored by the SCBWI-PA in Philadelphia. I registered late for this event, then took my (wonderful!) two weeks vacation in Brazil in May, and now I'm trying to get the assignments done. This illo is one of them, for the nursery rhyme "Good night, sleep tight."Not sure if this happens to you, but whenever I work on an illustration for a long time, I start having issues with it. It's a bit annoying! :-)
Ultimamente não tenho tido tempo de postar -- tenho estado ocupada no trabalho e me preparando para Illustrator's Day 2009, uma workshop patrocinada pela SCBWI-PA na Filadélfia. Eu me matriculei tarde para este evento, aí tirei duas semanas (maravilhosas!) de férias no Brasil em maio, e agora estou tentando terminar os deveres. Esta ilustração é um deles, para a rima "Good night, sleep tight.'
Não sei se isso acontece com vocês, mas sempre que trabalho numa ilustração por um tempo longo eu começo a ter problemas com ela. Isso é um pouco irritante! :-)
Oooo...I bet that'll be a good event! I'm so envious--I hope you make lots of great connections.
ReplyDeleteThis illo is just adorable Monica!!

We are our own worst critics! Good luck with your function, can't wait to hear all about it. And thanks for sharing this sweet piece. =)
ReplyDeleteGood luck at illustrators day! I like this picture although it makes me want to take a nap =). And yes, whenever I paint something for too long I definately start to have issues with it. I think it's a natural part of being an artist.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean: when you've looked too much to your own work - you start to have doubts. That's for me the signal to put it away, set it on a easel and look at it everytime I walk by. After a few times I know what is wrong or just come to the conclusion that the drawing/painting is finished.
ReplyDeleteI always have to watch out not to stay working at it: I tend to work too detailled and then "destroying" the work.
I love this illustration and it really fits with the nursery rhyme. And I hope you have a great day at Illustrations Day - it sounds great to participate! Hope you show some on your blog.
Oh, heck yeah! Happens way too often to me. Especially when it's something very special or someone your trying to impress. Well, not sure what issues you are having with this one, but it sure is a sweetie! I love it.
