Thought I’d share the final sketches for Elizabeth Badowski’s children’s book, “Brotherhood of the Stinky Underpants.” I’m pretty excited about starting the final illustrations on these, as the story is pretty fun, and Elizabeth was great to work with having a lot of cute suggestions for the illustrations along thee way as well. The final illustrations are going to be in oil over an acrylic underpainting on illustration board…should be fun! I’ll post again once I’ve got the underpainting done.

Already I can tell this is going to be a great book for kids. Well drawn with many new perspectives (and compositions) using a toilet!

Great drawings. Just wondered though, to be an illustrator do you have to be good at using paints? or can you use whatever you feel comfortable with, such as colouring pencils?
