Illustration Friday: Sprout
Funny theme this week, and it happens to go with the picture book I'm currently illustrating, "Paco and the Giant Chile Plant," which will be released by Raven Tree Press in June, 2008.
I'm so happy to be working on this bilingual story (it's the reason I'm finally taking Spanish lessons).
Here, Paco has planted his chile seed when suddenly the ground rumbled and grumbled and a chile plant shot into the sky.

Love the magical light, rich warm atmosphere of colors, and the way you represent suprise through movement.
How adorable!!!
¡Qué linda tu ilustración, Elizabeth! Como de costumbre, no deja de sorprenderme que has ilustrado tantos cuentos como para tener siempre una magnífica opción para IF.
Buena suerte con tus clases de español ;)
Sprout- a -licious! I can just imagine how much fun it must have been for you to create this image...ground shaking and all.
Perfect! Great job!
I love the movement in the illo, you can feel the trembling of the ground as this sprout gathers strength. Beautifully done!
I love the look of surprise and anticiaption on both their faces. The colors are so warm and rich...like the rising sun of a hot day.
Great job on the expressions and action of the scene and characters. The boy somewhat frightened, but also in a state of wonder and awe. And the dog ready to defend. Nice work all around.
nice work. I love the dog and the colors you chose.
fantastic, there'a a real sense of movement and warmth here.
Wow, can't wait to see the book!
This is great, love the colors and atmosphere!

That was convenient! Did you intentionally make it a bit off register? It's dizzying!
