This is a sneak peek at the cover and an interior piece for a new picture book I just finished for Harper Collins. I love working in that fast watercolor style. The ink line is with a ratty old brush that is very hard to control, and that makes some exciting results...
Jack, this looks like a new and different style for you. I really do like the roughness of the black and brilliance of the color. It's not just the color and line, the characters, I think, have a different feel to them. Maybe it's the spontaneity that's so appealing to me. Exciting.
Thanks Tom, I like it too, and have been getting lots of work in this style. There's a "letting go" that makes it work the best...not always easy to do...haha, such is life, eh?
