This is my last day living in Salzburg... Just wanted to share with you all the wonder and beauty that can be found here in Austria (and Germany too!). A true inspiration for years to come!
Follow this blog my email (upper right corner) to join me as I continue my journey in the US!
This week, the Linzer Lane experts are taking a little break so I can share with you this short video featuring my drawing process for Iggie the Hedgehog. Iggie appears in my upcoming picture book, Iggie's Gingerbread. He's a jolly little fellow who loves to bake and eat cookies daily.
Like all of my artwork, Iggie starts with a light pencil sketch, followed by a thin tipped Sharpie outline, then colored with either regular or watercolor colored pencils.
So, enjoy the video and don't forget to join my e-list, so you don't miss out on a lovely Iggie inspired free printable this September!
PS - A big thank you to SCBWI's Eastern Penn Points blog & As the Eraser Burns for inspiring this special picture book themed post today! If you are a visiting SCBWI blogger, please leave your info below so we can check out your work!
I don't think I can properly convey how excited I was to see my first hedgehog this week. I have been joking with my hubby since we arrived in Austria that if I happened to see one.... it would make my time here complete. Well, this isn't the greatest pic, because they only come out at night (which I never knew), so it was hard to take a good image...
My mother-in-law woke us up out of a dead sleep at 3:45am to spot him in the garden, and I couldn't have been more happy. It was like Christmas morning!
