"Adventure Ready" - 28

When it comes to character design, I seem to gravitate toward childhood scenes:

(Pencil, pen, & marker on 110-lb. paper)

And I think it's because (beyond obvious reasons) I enjoy illustrating innocence and wonder, when modern trends are mostly absent. I also enjoy not having to portray realistic scenes that are...frankly...quite challenging to illustrate. But the point of this entire year's challenge -- having to create one original piece of art every day -- is to stretch my creative muscles. So I'll be trying to challenge myself further as the year progresses.
