Mr. Jingle 7 in process
February 28th, 2013 at 3:32 am (Character, Jingle in My Pocket)
Today this little guy and I had a long ‘sit down’ talk. (NOT in a tree!) I needed some hint from him of where he was headed on his adventure so that I wouldn’t paint myself out on a limb trying to keep up with him! We came to some understanding, and I began to sketch ahead since there were some architectural feats to overcome. I also needed to rework the text to stay true to his story. Hopefully, in the long run, this will help, but for today, it took a huge amount of time and watercolors just had to stop their flow and wait til tomorrow to fall into the mix.
When I reach the branch
At my bedroom door
My pocket starts jingling
More and more!

Thanks, Mary, I’m slow to ‘get’ my wordpress site, so I just saw your message! Thanks for all your support on this project! I need affirmation like this to keep going. AND any ‘critical feedback’ is welcome, too!
