Howard Pyle Assignment : 

On the left is my final sketch and on the right is my in class sketch from the models... 

I plan on using neon inks and pen / colored pencil ... the background will be set in a more muted colored skatepark since the two figures are skater boys

Illustrator Research Project:

The Illustrator I chose was Corinne Malvern, she illustrated many children's books which is why I chose to illustrate two young girls.  I tried to keep the same energy and liveliness that she has in her artwork while still maintaining my own style. I incorprated small details, patterns, and flowers since she included that in most of her art as well. I tried to have a similar color palette that she would usually use in her work.
