These are rough ideas....concept sketches for a novel I'm working on, as I continue to play around with some mental images.


































This sketch is in the wash stage. I drew the tree first and then decided it was perfect for a scene I wrote, so I began playing around and added the child and some of the smaller dragons. I'm going to do this one as a mixed media piece, in the end it will be a combination of watercolors, pen and ink and acrylics. I'll make some visual changes in this scene with my next few illos, but I felt the urge to play with color first.
