“The Lost Locket” Children’s Book Illustrations

My latest illustration work can be seen in California author Bonnie Black’s children’s book, The Lost Locket. This is the first in a series of short chapter books called “The Adventures of KaLeigh Mae & Braxtin,” who are the two 10-year-old heroines of the books. The Lost Locket tells the story of a mystery involving the two girls along the California coast.

I drew the illustrations with pencil, then inked them using a Speedball Hunt Globe dip pen and India Ink on Bristol board. There are four interior illustrations spread throughout the book. I colored the cover illustration using watercolor pencils.

I enjoyed having the opportunity to illustrate the scenes and characters in this book and to work in pen and ink. You can find the book on Amazon.com.
