First Assignment: Done

The project that this is for was themed "Summer." I kind of hated having to do such a cutsie piece, but as a illustrator you do things that the art director says. You don't have the freedom of a fine art painter, but you do have the up front payment. But it is interesting that I really embraced the cuteness. One of the people in class thought that the animal next to the little girl was a mouse, not a dog. I think that it is obvious that it is a dog, but that's just me. Other people said this or that, but mostly this.

It is 14 by 17 inches and done with soft pastels on Canson board.
