MATS Bootcamp 2016: Coloring Book

I just signed up for Lilla Rogers course: Make Art That Sells Assignment Bootcamp again this year. It's always a good challenge for me to explore themes that I might not have otherwise thought of. We get 5 pro assignments in 5 months. The first assignment this month was to draw some 1920s ladies and turn them into a coloring book design. Mine is inspired by one of my favorite artists Alphonse Mucha. The illustration was drawn with pen & ink, then I vectored it in Illustrator to pop in some color. Check out all the gorgeous artwork by other illustrators in the March Gallery.

Watch Me Grow- A Coloring & Activity Book

This past spring I got to illustrate a coloring and activity book Watch Me Grow, for Family Foot Measure. Kids can measure their feet and height every few months, and track how much they've grown. It was so much fun to illustrate, and even more fun to see kids coloring my pictures! You can purchase it on their website footmeasure.com or on Amazon here.
