I am currently completing another book illustration. It's been very interesting as I've never drawn a fox before, but always been a fan of their cute fluffy ears. I am anxious to see how this one turns out as there are still a way to go.
I originally started on a different piece of the same idea but it wasn't quite going as I wanted and decided to start over and get it just right.

It's done primarily in colour pencil (and a bit with markers). I am going to use pastels for the background and hoping it will go as planned.
I am working on a new type of paper for this one, Lana Calligraphy 250g/m2 paper, which seems to work alright for colour pencils.

A while back I mentioned one of the projects I have been working on. This is one of 3 illustrations I did for the upcoming book Where Witches Rise by the author Cécile Guillot.
You can see more about the project here:

This is from a story about a Navajo girl, Raven.
I did a bit of research on Navajo and found that two of their significant colours is blue and white shell.
It went better with my style than orange/yellow so I went with that.

The other illustrations won't be released until the book is out.
The book should be released later this year, I will keep you updated and show you when I receive a copy.
I very much enjoyed the project, it was a bit different and it was nice to make up a character for a story, it's a unique opportunity.
