I’ve been experimenting with different media in some new art tests. For this cute little axolotl, I used acrylic and real brushes to create the linework and shading on separate pieces of paper. Then I brought it all together in Photoshop.

I'm really happy with how it turned out! What do you think?

Haha! The pancake roller may not have been as good, but it's certainly more entertaining! 🛞🥞🥞🥞🛞

By the way, I've been loving all your new books! Everything you’ve been writing lately (and always) has been so fun to read!

"...almond butter, strawberry preserves, Adobe Photoshop, and a butter knife to create the illustrations in this book." -Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse (2020) by @tlmcbeth.bsky.social

🔎 #CopyrightPageArtNotes

Photo of a picture book. Cover illustration features a brown horse drawn in crayon (and looking like a child's drawing!) with big round eyes, a toothy smile, and a collar around its neck. The title says "Randy" in crayon, with a typed out subtitle "the Badly Drawn Horse." "Badly drawn" is crossed out and replaced, in crayon, with "Beautiful." Author-illustrator is ntoed at the bottom of the page as T.L. McBeth

Revisiting my 🔎 #CopyrightPageArtNotes thread today with a whopper of a two-parter from @tlmcbeth.bsky.social:

"The artist used colored pencils, crayons, scissors, printer paper, various 19th-century oil paintings and etchings, Popsicle sticks, pom-poms, glitter glue, sand from Coney Island..."
