NJ Illustrator Day Follow Up



Sunday I attended NJ SCBWI's First Annual Illustrator's Day.
This is the final art for the assignment we were given. (My first sketch and feedback are posted below.) I received feedback from AD Laurent Linn. He was kind and supportive of all the artists in our group. I later had a portfolio review with Patrick Collins. Look for coming posts about "eyes". I seem to have two extremes too big "shocking", and the dreaded "dot" eye. He recommended I play a bit with the eye to find a compromise. He also recommended dividing my portfolio, trade in one area and educational/mass market in another area. I also have to beef up my narrative. I have a bunch of what amounts to spot illustrations. I look forward to taking the information I received and using it to build a stronger portfolio.

I want to thank the NJ SCBWI for hosting this wonderful event. A special thanks to Leeza Hernandez for doing an amazing job coordinating the event. She also headed up a session that did a pretty kickin 10min. exercise that really got you to speed through thumbnails and see your story quickly. Leeza, you rock!

Karen and Lori were my travel buddies this trip. We had a good time...even if my driving made Karen a bit ill.

Donna,
Thank you for your kind words - gush gush!
This is a great post, sounds like you got some great, useful and constructive feedback about your work. I think we all did.
Glad you liked that exerise, too. That's the first time I did that in this workshop and plan to do more. I must credit Pat Cummings for showing me the Post-It trick. Although she didn't quite give 10 minutes to do an entire story.
It certainly is an effective way to focus on the basic layout of a story and flesh out flow rather than be distracted by details....

Thanks again for coming Donna, it was a pleaure meeting you. Hope to see you in June for our next event!

Oh gosh, I hear ya -- I'm rolling in those two extremes, myself. The big big eye I have working on now directly resulted from me trying to get away from the dot eye. I went to the opposite extreme. Needs more work. I appreciae this post though and will look for more on eyes!
