It’s finally summer and I’m dreaming of hot sunny days at the beach.
Can you tell?
I took a break from a commission that has me drawing lots of army tanks to do this piece for Susanna Leonard Hill’s 2nd annual pretty much world famous illustration contest. The theme is DISCOVERY. (You have until the end of the week to enter!) The prizes are great! First place wins Mark Mitchell’s Illustration course – which I did last year. His lessons & critiques really helped move my learning along.
Don’t forget to check out the other entries over at Susanna’s site!

Marla, this is adorable! 🙂
Oh my goodness; what a fun discovery!
Now that is a summer catch and what a discovery after the net is opened! Wonderful.
This character is totally fierce!
This is fantastic, Marla! I love that fiercely determined little girl, defiantly wearing her snorkel mask 🙂 Great job! Thanks so much for joining in the contest fun!
That’s what I call a catch of the day! How fun, Marla!
You’ve captured the spirit of discovering!
Haha, such a fun image. What is that she has caught, and what is she going to do with it?!
Ha! This it great! Arodable and uh oh awaits. Great energy. And I am soooooooooooooooooo with you about the beach! Happy summer!
Ha ha. You nailed the strongly defined character aspect of this contest. Love the story possibilities!
This is lovely – so simple and yet it has all we need in the picture to tell the story! 🙂
