Emilie at the window

This illustration is for the back of my next postcard, with the same little girl who's on the sea serpent on the front side. I like working in both color and black and white. I have to say that black and white has a special, magical feeling for me. I love old black and white photos and movies.

Great illustration! Wonderful sense of story in this one and the black and white really adds to the (as you already said) magical feeling. I could definitely see this working well in a chapter book.

This illustration seemed to fit the new topic of Illustration Friday..."puzzled". Emilie wonders what happened to her sea serpent.

I agree, the black and white is great and feels old-fashioned and maybe a bit spooky or mysterious. Great job with the details and contrast.
