Martin Saavedra

This is a redo of an illustration that I made a while ago. This time, I put myself in the shoes of a little Picasso who did not want to go to school because it was boring.

So I drew the top long bison from memory and the one below looking at a bison’s skeleton. Go figure…

I'm trying out to draw bison. Before styling them, I like to get to know their anatomy first.

Day 1 of 7 for the #bkspinocchio challenge

“It was a wild and stormy night. Pinocchio had a great fear of thunder but hunger was stronger than fear, he therefore made a rush to the village”

Hey kidlit illustrators, I’d like to gift a free, one-hour, portfolio-review/coaching-session.

1) reply with a sample of your art.
2) repost this message.

I’ll pick a winner at random from those who do both. Win or lose, I’ll take a close look at every reply.

I'm new to writing (I'm mostly an illustrator) but for me, the stories come with the structure. Or maybe, I unconsciously think about the structure first and the idea comes later. Usually I try non traditional forms.
