Doing some color testing to decide if I like this new version of Dr Shelly. Her name is obviously a tribute to Mary Shelly and I'm thinking with these color nods to Dr Frankfurter I do like this new character design. What do you think? Does she need a gaudy pearl necklace to solidify the look? • #characterredesign #colortests #childrenscharacterdesign #charactersketching #characterredesign #monstersforkids #classicmonsters #monsterbooks #maryshelly #drfranknfurter #dontdreamitbeit #madscientist #drfrankenstein #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookinprogress #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #inmysketchbook #firstdraftsketch #Ghost_and_Bones #elysespaintbrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CLW4KwwlulC/?igshid=m19z5xybvosc

Halloween time + IT Chapter 2 = Dress up time! This not so little guy is from my book, Hidding a Monster, and he’s really just trying to disguise himself so he doesn’t get caught. It’s a tough world we live in 🤷🏽‍♂️ . . #picturebooks #clowns #halloween #monstersforkids #funmonsters #arcurry https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Qy7VqBv_d/?igshid=1artzrad5vnjy

A few more character redesigns for my next #childrensbook . This time it's Winnie the witch and Dr Shelly the mad scientist. Sometimes my initial designs are detailed like this and then get simplified when I start the project, but I try to maintain the shapes and feel of the initial drawings. We'll see what happens when I choose a medium and start actually working. • #childrenscharacterdesign #childrensbookinprogress #characterredesign #characterredesign #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #monsterbooks #monstersforkids #witch #madscientist #classicmonsters #sketchbook #sundaysketching #Ghost_and_Bones #elysespaintbrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSI2jHlYlS/?igshid=18sojt309mctb
