What It's Like To Be An Illustrator

Just in case you were wondering.

Riding Dogopotamus

I'm illustrating a book called Dogopotamus about a boy who dreams of what he imagines to be (and later realizes is NOT) the perfect non-traditional pet.

The image above occurs just before Dogo spots a squirrel and mayhem ensues.

I've been posting this as a work in progress on Behance where you can follow along to see the steps I go through to get from sketch to finish.

To learn more about this book which is part of a series called Petimals, you can go to the Petimals website.

Update: The book is now available at Amazon.com. It's a fun read!
