Stephanie's Drawings

Today is the first day of Make Art That Sells with Lilla Rogers.  http://lillarogers.com/ And this morning I did some painting in water colors for the fruit part and then this afternoon I did some sketching in Sketchbook Pro for the other part, this is really fun!!

Since I am starting two new intense classes tomorrow, I know I won't have much time to sleep so today I took advantage! :)

Yay I am sooo excited to see my work in the MATS Bootcamp gallery. This month was bolt fabric patterns. I created about 10 and chose this one to submit because I ended up falling in love with it. I am also trying to create a pattern style that is very similar to my children's book work. Here is the link to see the whole gallery-I am on the first page, but there is tons of great work. I am brand new to this, so I get inspired every day by all the amazing talent in this group. And yes I signed up for MATS A starting on Monday! http://bootcamp.lillarogers.com/bootcamp-march-2014-gallery/

Today's lesson in B School had me inspired! I did some major reworking on my website, which was scary, but I did it. If you like this image below and or want to sign up for free doodles etc. Please stop by my website www.stepholivieri.com

Check out a whole new Mixology tonight on ABC - here is my take on them as kids. I am working on a whole series! http://abc.go.com/shows/mixology

So if you look down to my post a couple days ago you can see how different this turned out. Yesterday Lilla gave us a fun assignment and a new color palette to work with. This top design is the final I turned it. I am really loving this class, it's great!!                                                 A mock-up I did last night for fun.                                                                           Just the nighty Just the pattern                           Same idea with some small changes-this one printed really nicely.                 ...

Yay woke up to this nice surprise today. My illustration featured here  http://www.kidlit411.com/2013/12/kidlit411-chapter-books.html#more

Hey everyone! I have been diving into B School this week, as well as my Make Art That Sells Bootcamp assignment. I am doing good, I think, with pacing myself for each class. I am also finishing my picture book-and writing my chapter book-to get ready for a class. That said since my business really is children's media and children's books, I drew this on Monday after a long day because someone asked me "why children's books?" This quote popped into my head. 

Hi everyone so as you know I am taking what they call Make Art That Sells from Lilla Rogers Studio . I love it.  I am in the bootcamp now-which runs 6 months and on March 31st I am starting the full MATS A course. I can't wait. I love learning new things to do with my art. Here are some sketches that I did this week for the mini assignment. I did them using mixed media-markers, Sketchbook Pro, Painter and just plain pencils. I hope you like them!

Hey everyone so I am doing some graphic design for infant onesies for a client who wanted animals with patterns. I created all of this in illustrator-because I am an illustrator first, I drew the animals then I made the patterns and then used the clipping mask to achieve the look. Oh they are in CMYK, hence the gray background.

Happy Mardi Gras!!  I just had to do one of Crissie in New Orleans! Not part of the show---not yet. 

Sometimes it's really hard to walk away from unkind people, but I invite you to take it one step further and be kind to them. Maybe they are having a bad day, who knows, but it's always a nice thing to do cuz they probably do need it the most. I try to practice this always.
