Portrait of a Caroler
These drawings were made as an exercise to see how I would approach the illustration style of a storybook. It's one of my wishes to illustrate one some day and I had some free time before Christmas to play around with some watercolor and colored pencil.
These were made mostly from imagination, but I did use some reference for the iceskating one and the four carolers, I did have some trouble with the latter one as I feel the color cheme could have been different or narrowed down to a smaller palette with one or two tones. As you can see, I still have a fondness for lettering and doodling words around my drawings.
