Rough sketch to size:














And the cleaned-up sketch, ready to go to final art:














(As of yesterday the crocuses have popped their little heads out of the ground here. Yay.)

    Love how messy your first sketches are-- a visual definition of "brainstorm"!

    Thanks, Sherman, Dana, and Jeannie!

    My process world is messy. But I think it's good for folks (especially kids!) to know that art doesn't come out "perfect" the first time around. :-)

    A lovely new image for a postcard. And perfect for PBAA's blog theme :)
