<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">SCBWI
organizes many events throughout the year. I especially like attending regional
events, for they are smaller and a great way to meet other amazing writers and
illustrators who live nearby. It is also less intimidating for meeting the
special guests who speak at these events and a great way to get your foot in
the door for future submissions.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This
last Saturday I had the privilege of attending a SCBWI Illustrator Intensive
event with Art Director Jim Hoover. My fellow illustrators and I all squeezed
into a room to hear him speak and critique the assignment we had been given in
December. For me, it was an exciting event that I had been looking forward to
for months!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mr.
Hoover has had a rich career so far having worked as a designer for Puffin
Books and Simon & Schuster. He advanced to Art Director, working for SCBWI
before working for the magnificent Viking Children's Books! I am sure that you
can imagine with such a big reputation, I was nervous to meet him (not to
mention receive a professional critique (YIKES!)). </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After preparing illustrations for
months, the day arrived and I must tell you that it was a wonderful relief to
actually meet Jim. He was a charming, insightful professional who kept the
entire room entertained for over 8 hours. That is quite a feat for any speaker!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here
are a few things that I took away from the event that I had not taken into
consideration before:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->When
creating a portfolio, it doesn’t matter what style you choose. The most
important thing that you can show is confidence in your work. If an editor or
an art director can see your confidence through your work you have got it made!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Costuming
your characters is a really important step that often gets overlooked. The
costume(s) that you choose for your characters should reflect their personality
as well as the time. Don’t be afraid to use clashing patterns or bright colors
so long as it fits your story and character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Showing
movement in a still drawing is an impressive way to capture your audience.
Practice this!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I
learned these things and more from this event. I would highly recommend it to anyone
who gets the opportunity, for it is a great way to get insight into the publishing
business as well as feedback on your art. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can't talk too much about it because it isn't published yet! Fingers crossed that there will be more of these soon.<br />

One of the great perks of being an art teacher is that I get the holidays off...just like my students :). My imagination was bursting with ideas of things that I could finally knock off of the running "To Do" list that sits open on my computer consistently.<br />
<br />
However, after my last class ended (on a Sunday evening) I came home and completely abandoned the list for the first time in over two years! Here's what followed:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started with a sketch on a small, yellow piece of paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent two wonderful days working out all of the kinks to create something that I had wanted for over two years! When it was finished, it looked like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmd6_z0b_aDt6QnSNw1FRz9mNToEjFWgoCKDJ9xkZM2XWzZ0rB5wPZqFLBAdiD8aFFWchiPhE1Tpo4ADLsyDomkcqR-4R9CKd9_87tQZ-IR-Gm3RY5Gu23xZTG_3zLAOKFFOHHtvZ3Mwc/s1600/Adventure+Awaits+-+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmd6_z0b_aDt6QnSNw1FRz9mNToEjFWgoCKDJ9xkZM2XWzZ0rB5wPZqFLBAdiD8aFFWchiPhE1Tpo4ADLsyDomkcqR-4R9CKd9_87tQZ-IR-Gm3RY5Gu23xZTG_3zLAOKFFOHHtvZ3Mwc/s320/Adventure+Awaits+-+Final.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Satisfied with the result, I moved on to this:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTux0FphR1P5NcD6MmXrL3T_BjCyd3uIm2bEt5QohLkYBzxqhzBQNZQFqTudn17IRaViH1GJACp96AEGLo7aLwYVMCzn0BL5mr2Gj1Zjd3dYeqAJJMHoDhaJVo96jG8SbbgzrhepTQVbk/s1600/Stencil+Wall.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTux0FphR1P5NcD6MmXrL3T_BjCyd3uIm2bEt5QohLkYBzxqhzBQNZQFqTudn17IRaViH1GJACp96AEGLo7aLwYVMCzn0BL5mr2Gj1Zjd3dYeqAJJMHoDhaJVo96jG8SbbgzrhepTQVbk/s320/Stencil+Wall.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
(I apologize for the huge color difference. The first photo was taken when I started that morning and the final was taken that night after I had finished.)<br />
<br />
<br />
During this process I learned some valuable lessons and had a great time! So here is the motto for the holiday season: Sometimes you just have to let your hair down, tell your portfolio to "hang on a second" and do something fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
What fun things have you done this season?</div>

What a treat! Molly Idle and Kelly Light stood spotlight with a fun, informative Character Building Workshop that had everyone laughing and drawing the afternoon away. It came at such a perfect time for me and I felt that I took away some precious gems of information. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few sketches from the event:</div>

For the first time, Illustator Day presented 3 Portfolio Awards. I won 3rd place for my portfolio! Congratulations to <a href="http://www.diana-toledano.com/">Diana Toledano</a> won 1st place and <a href="http://laurazarrinstudios.com/">Laura Zarrin</a> who won 2nd place! We were all awarded bottles of water (Diana's was sparkling :D) and I will get free admission to Illustrator Day 2016. I wouldn't miss it!!</div>

Hi Everyone! I have been working on multiple projects for a few months now and I am now ready to start thinking about what's next! It has been a whirlwind few months with the amazing clients that I have been privileged to work with, teaching, and creating.

I really love his whimsical style and the way that he has mastered the art of the wordless picture book. His first book, "Journey" has a prominent place on my bookshelf and I look through it for inspiration all of the time. Imagine my excitement when I discovered that "Journey" is actually a TRILOGY!!! The second book in the series is "Quest" and I have been anxiously awaiting its release, especially after viewing the awesome trailer that he created:<br />

It was the most exciting, awe inspiring event that I have ever attended. I was surrounded by a community of peers that feels like a family to me and I had the experience of meeting artists and authors that I admire (including Aaron Becker whose next book, Quest is coming out at the end of this month). I also had the honor of being awarded the Mentorship Award for my portfolio along with 5 other brilliant artists Dorothia Rohner, Kahryn Ault Noble, Suzanne Kaufmann, Robin Rosenthal, and Ana Aranda Balgazar! I am absolutely on Cloud 9!</span>Jeslynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068343979941806096noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555055571139328386.post-25668025425283335832014-06-30T09:23:00.000-07:002014-06-30T09:23:09.139-07:00Lemonade Stand - Process<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone! I am working on another new print and I wanted to share a little bit about my process :). I have started the "Lemonade Stand" in honor of summer. It just cannot be helped.<br />
<br />
Today, I finished printing the second color on this piece. You can see, in the top picture, that the print is already beginning to emerge in just two colors! The second image (below) shows my palette. It took me three tries to mix the color that I was looking for this time. After I found it, I used the palette knife to smear a line of ink across that palette that would be just as long as the brayer (the rolling pin-looking tool above the mixed ink) so that I could roll the brayer up and down through the line. This created a nice patch of ink that I could then roll onto the woodblock (on the left). After my woodblock had been covered in yellow, I took each piece of paper (there are 15!) and pressed it down on top of the wet ink. Using another tool called a barren (it is a small, circular tool that has a handle to fit my hand) and my arm strength, I pushed the two pieces together as hard as I could so that the ink would transfer onto the paper to create the image in the top photo.<br />

Here is a sneak peek of the latest children's story that I have been working on by a lovely author named Niki Clainos! We are in the final sketching phase before the finals! The finals will be completed to look like the "Little Librarian" piece! Can't wait to show more. :)Jeslynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068343979941806096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555055571139328386.post-45932571382920773812014-05-05T06:43:00.002-07:002014-05-05T06:43:19.569-07:00Spring Green<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
