This was kind of a splash-page dealie, with quickly blocked-out colors and tones. I was going to do a little more work on it, but I actually like this flat, almost graphic look.

Thumbnail Landscapes /
Here are a couple of thumbnail landscapes I made with pencil, marker, and watercolor. I wanted to get a good feel for the color palette and composition before illustrating. Although I’m not actually going to illustrate these landscapes, it’s good practice to help stay limber. Although you never see a lion limber-up before he takes down his prey...something to think about.
