Penciled Packages 2: The Quickening

While I'm glad to have time to commit to long term projects, I'm also getting in the habit of sketching small and speedy.

Once again, I'm embellishing some Christmas packaging. This time around I wanted to make the drawings more dynamic, play to the shape of the box and not be so tied down to the material I was using for reference.

Color is magic!

Llama Llama Red Pajama. That's new to me.

"Miles from Tomorrowland" is also new to me.
What little I've seen looks better than the "Tomorrowland" movie.

Sophia the First, What's on second, I don't know is on third...

Ariel is "Under the C". Get it?

Penciled Packages

Christmas is coming sooner than I'd like. Not because of any cynicism, but rather because it means I now have a ticking clock when it comes to Christmas themed projects.

One person who seems to be ahead of the game is my neighbor Shannon, who asked if I would draw some characters on the wrapping for some presents she is going to mail her nieces and nephews.

Working on midtone paper and colored pencil was very different from the kind of sketches I've been doing this summer, but it offered a variety of textures and shades I wouldn't have been able to try otherwise.

Doc McStuffins, thats a first

Elsa, I just can't seem to let her go

Hello Kitty waves goodbye

Sketch ya' later!
