Here is an image I just whipped-up. For a while now I've wanted to branch out into the competitive world of illustrating childrens books. My style has never really been geared up for the task, though. Well, tonight I thought it was time I began exploring some possibilities. The above image was the first of several experiments, using a new drawing style (for me anyway) and some new production techniques. It's quite basic and not too enthrawling, but considering everything about this image was concieved through experimentation, it could've been a lot worse.

I think it's great. Simple is good. I'm still trying to work out my style as I'm interested in illustrating children's books too and I'm finding that everytime I simplify my ideas they come out looking alot better.
How wonderful and funny is this illustration! It works!!! Great job Jim. I love the look on both of them! Priceless I tell ya! he he he! Great work.
Hey Jim! This truly is Children's book style and material. Go for it.
Love it! Very nice style :)

I think you are off to a great start. Keep up the great work.

I am sure you will find your most comfortable style. Good to explode!
