illustration friday - packed
I spend a lot of time with young children and am constantly amazed by how packed their head space is. Just today, from my 6 year old, I have had: How do wheelchair people get into bed? How many seconds until Christmas? Can we also eat the fire when we toast marshmellows? Does God mind if we kill flies?

Wonderful! Great style and colors!
Woow..she is really packed full of ideas :)
That's a great take on the illustration. Kids do ask some crazy questions. Mine asked me why do we need belly button for. Try answering that one. I think I tried to explain umbilical cords and that's how they were fed before they were born, but I gave up quickly when they looked so very confused.
Nice take on the topic. A really nice style too!
:)
I really like this and yes, it's so true about children. If only we could be so open and curious!!
I like your illustration and your style! You're so right about children! The favourite word of my 7 years old is "why?" :)
Very nice, I love the textures!
I love the fact that I work with children. A few of my favourites:
Kid #1: "I have a UTI"
Kid #2: "What's that?"
Kid #1: A urinary trail infection
(To Me) "Please don't give me any orange juice. The acid just won't work for me. Do you have any cranberry juice on you? I think that would be best"
They were 6 years old.
I love your illustration - so full of detail, the linework particularly, is really well done. Glad I found your blog, will definitely be browsing around a bit :)
Beautiful! Beautiful!
Gorgeous! I love the colour palette! Also a nice spin on the topic - I definitely know how she feels!!
That's adorable! My little cousins are always asking a hundred questions... it's so funny :)
Very sweet illustration, plus I LOVE the comments! I teach art classes for pre-schoolers 2 days a week and they amaze me with their observations.
Those are pretty insightful questions, actually! Kids are so smart. (My boy doesn't talk yet, but I'm bracing myself!) Wonderful illo! Love the colors!
Beautiful handwriting, great patterns and layers! Very cute.
Who says thats the domain of 6 year olds? My head is like that all the time!
beautiful!
hahahha, this is so cute and sweet... really love the colors! :)
kids can sure ask the strangest questions!
Beautiful as always!
And such a wonderful take on the topic...
Thanks for your kind comment!
