MY LITTLE BIG HELPER!

Community Service
2013 Graphite and Digital

Little did his Grandmother and Auntie know how their gifts of a wheelbarrow and an new umbrella would be used the next day! My oldest son (3 Years old) and I went to help at a community center today and our job was to move mulch in order to fill in the areas that needed it...and of course it rained....and RAINED! But he trucked through it and was a BIG help!  I have some great kids.

So...my big focus on this illustration was to push DEPTH. Not just with value, but in structural build-up of the composition.  Tell me what you think.

Oh and I'm sorry for the lack of posts...my absence is because I've actually been working on writing a chapter book. I finished the first draft this week and look forward to editing and gearing up to do the illustrations.  Yay!
