Although I'm not a children's book illustrator, I deeply admire them. I love your use of color-it reeally brings out each figure, as well as their personalities
Your illustrations are always beautiful...you've captured that sour expression (I remember that one on my own little girl's face at times but no too often--she's mostly a sweetie!). Good job.
Linda
I always love your illustrations. This one especially.
A very nice illustration, as usual. I love the colors and the expressive faces.
Vickie
Wonderful illustration. Great expressions and I love the hair detail on both!
Wow, very impressive characters!!! Professional.
Oh my!! This is a great illustration. I love their hairs. so detail. Can you give me tips on using color pencils?
Simply wonderful. A portrait with a twist. The thing I'm enjoying about this illustration is the detail and shading/lighting around the "sour" girl's eyes. Her hair is also great. Even though they are centered it's easy to see what the focus point is - great! :)
So lovely! Great expressions!
I love the background to this and your 'worry' illustration also. A great illo ;p
Beautiful expressions! Bravo!!
perfect sourpuss !!
I have an award for you over on my blog...
Have a great day !
First of all, I loooove these little faces. The sweet one couldn't be more sweet, and the sour one has just the perfect amount of sourness... and that's not even mentioning the wonderful details, color and composition!
Second, thank you so much for thinking of me as one of your choices for this award. Coming from someone who's skills I admire soooo much, it is quite an honor!
Thank you again!

What a great job you did on those faces--they look so real without being "realistic" Wonderful.
This is a beautiful illustration, love their faces.
Awwww, this is a fantastic contrast! The expressions are absolutely perfect. I love all your illustrations. You have some of the best colored pencil works!
Wow, this is a stunning illustration! You did a perfect job capturing their personalities (or at least their moods!) Wonderful work :) I found your blog through Eric Barclay's blog.
Really nice illustration. Great expressions and colors.
I love your art, charming, fun and full of wonder and fantasy!
