Magazine pumpkin sketches


How goes the great struggle? Alls well here thanks! I recently got an illustration assignment from my favorite children's illustration client, "Highlights for Children" magazine. They have a magazine for younger children called Highlights Hi-Five that I've done work before. Fun assignments, great deadlines and professional/trustworthy art direction...Thank you again Highlights, I love you.

this is for the October 2008 issue and they've asked me to do a bunch of Jack-o-Lantern paintings. I did some pencil sketches, scanned them in to Photoshop and added some value..viola!

They gave me the go ahead to add color, so I'll get cracking on that asap.

I used to read Highlights as a kid. They sent me something about High 5 (since I have a kid). I have never heard of it before.
How is that little Max by the way? Walking by now I assume. Getting into everything.

Max is great, thanks! He's running, talking and even has some dance moves. My three-and-a-half year old niece Emma lives upstairs from us and has a subscription to Highlights Hi-Five so I have to really try to impress her with this finish.
I hope you are well Frank.
best,
Todd
