"The Ballad of Sir Dinadan" in progress- detail


A detail of the beginning of this illustration. I am starting with a limited color palette because this scene takes place at night. I'm quite happy with how it is coming along.

Sir Dinadan



A sketch of a two page spread illustration I started last month. This is from The Ballad of Sir Dinadan, by Gerald Morris. He is one of my favorite authors for young adults. He has a whole series of Arthurian legend adaptations that are fantastic.

Addicted to SketchUp


Remember back when I was doing this? 

Well, I found out that there's an infinitely easier and more enjoyable way of 
making a city maquette. Google SketchUp. And there is a free version!


I am having so much fun with this.

A couple of things:

I finally have a business email address! It's kristy@guentherillustration.com . I feel professional!

Secondly, I've decided to start participating in Illustration Friday beginning with tomorrow's topic. If you haven't been there be sure to check it out; it is a great community of artists. I'm always telling myself I'm going to start submitting weekly, but I never do. So maybe if I announce it here, I will actually keep my word.
