Goose Volume 2 Art

Here is a design for Good Night Mrs. Goose's second volume. I got to work on this one recently for a publisher, so here it is.

For the candies and the face in the background of the front cover, I used construction paper. The rest of this is watercolor.

 Here's a drawing I did the other of Valerie in a more simple Art Nouveau poster style. All of this was hand done, I was practicing with using 2B lead with my lead holder and I think I'll stick with it. I'm scoring the paper too much with my F lead.

Good Night Mrs. Goose Paintings

Here are two watercolor paintings of my characters Lady Grimm and Valerie Clark from my story Good Night Mrs. Goose.I took a lot of inspiration for the design scheme of the book from Alphonse Mucha, who is practically THE Art Nouveau artist. I'm not even a tenth as good as he is, but it's fun trying to incorporate those design ideas into illustrations. I need to work harder at it.
