Illustration Friday - Burning
I enjoy finding my two young daughters books with strong female characters. The Paper Bag Princess by Robert N. Munsch is a great example. The eponomous princess stands up to dragons, saves the boy, and then realizes the boy is a jerk and dumps him. I love it!

Ha ha...is this inspired by the paperbag princess? I love that book! Nice illustration.
The texture of the green reads so nicely on the dragon. Nice work.

A excellent illustration the girl certainly looks annoyed at her roasting, I feel sorry for the Dragon.

She sounds like one tough cookie! And you have presented her that way in your illustration. Nicely done, Michelle!!
Fun illo!
I love the determined look on her face!
I love this one, made me giggle, but actually love all your work! I especially like the rejection one, I so get it... All your work is so much fun. And thank you for all your nice comments on my blog! It means so much knowing people are looking and appreciating. IF has exposed me to some amazing artists. Thank you!
Great job on this illo, Michelle, everything works: the composition, the characters, I can almost smell smoke!
You are so prolific and so talented: I love how you draw children and how you're not afraid to try new topics, new characters, perspective, you name it.
You have the right attitude: keep on working and showing your art to agents, art directors and someone will snatch you up!
Love how the girl shows no fear. She is a great role model - tough and determined, even with a face full of smoke.
Wow! I love everything about this Michelle! Great character design. I love the expression and determination! I always see you in the SCBWI magazine! Love your work and your style!! You ROCK!
I goes to show you if you play with fire your gonna get burned. Nicely done!
Hehe... great attitude in the body language :)
And I love the way you have zoomed right in, but we know what it is!
A delightful response to the topic! Excellent!
Love it! Love the whole story behind it, the dragon nose, the burnt hair. Just adorable! Like Monica said, I can almost smell the smoke.
