I’ve started a new personal project to create a series of illustrations based on some of my favorite kid lit books. These are a couple that I have started based on E.B. White’s Stuart Little and Roald Dahl’s The BFG.
Though I’m pleased with my progress so far, I am not entirely happy yet, so I’m looking for feedback from all you artists out there (non-artists are welcome too!). Please send any critiques and suggestions my way. I need your help to make these illustrations stellar.

Created with ballpoint pen and watercolor. You can buy the original artwork in my store.
This is a good example of the kinds of sketches I make on my Ustream broadcast. The show broadcasts every weekday. Stop by and chat!
Here’s a painting for Illustration Friday for the theme “Welcome”. I thought, what is more welcoming than pie? Nothing!
UPDATE: This illustration is now available as a print in my store.
Here is an Illustration Friday entry for the theme “Impatience”. I decided to play around with watercolor instead of my usual digital painting.
The original painting is available for sale in my store.
You can also view the making of this painting on Ustream.

This is one of my Daily Doodles that I drew during an episode of my Ustream show. Created with ballpoint pen and watercolor.
This is a good example of the kinds of sketches I make on my Ustream broadcast. The show is currently on break, but returns soon on July 20 at 7PM ET. Come by and chat!
Over the past several months, I have shared my painting process on my Ustream channel, and have received a lot of questions about my art supplies. Here is a comprehensive list of the traditional painting materials that I have used thus far, if you are interested in trying them out for yourself.
You can watch me paint and draw live every weekday. Please view the Dani Draws Live info page to stay up-to-date with the show schedule. To see examples of the work I’ve made with these materials, visit danijones.com/doodles.
