Little Bo Peep...Sketching Out The Details...A Work In Progress!

Sharing a sneak peek of Little Bo Peep.  A sketch inspired by a vintage and beautiful painting called "Sweet Bo Peep", by famed artist illustrator, Maud Humphrey Bogart

Sweet Bo Peep  by Maude Humphrey Bogart

This latest edition to the Pop Art Minis Nursery Rhyme Collection is a bit of a departure from the last 3 drawings that have already been completed.

Mother Goose, Little Miss Muffet, and Humpty Dumpty

I'm not sure that she will remain a part of this more whimsical collection or maybe she will be the beginning of another more romantic Nursery Rhyme collection.  We'll see as the sketch progresses and the "pops" of color appear. 

Little Bo Peep...sketch...work in progress. Waiting for color!

Stay tuned as Little Bo Peep continues her search to find her elusive sheep...maybe I need to make her eyes bigger....hehehe!


Egg-Citing News! Humpty Dumpty to Oversee The Big Egg Hunt!

Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011

With the biggest Egg Hunt of the year just a day away I thought it would be appropriate to step outside the basket, crack open my oil pastels and create a Pop Art Mini of one of the most famous "egg-heads" of all time!

HUMPTY DUMPTY!

And the EGG-Citing news...Humpty has agreed to oversee the event, and I think with those big eyes he should have no problem watching over the festivities, from his favorite spot...on top of the wall!

Hopefully he'll stay put and not take a fall!

So how did this materialize...check it out below!

With pencil in hand the sketching began.

Once that was done it was time for color fun!

Adding Layers of tan...a touch of red and blue

How about an egg-citing close up view

More color added...ear to ear

A touch on the tie...isn't he a dear!?

Base color's done...time for blending fun!

Next up the details...adding black

He's almost done...no time to slack

Signing off...Back Together Again

Egg-Citing and fun it's definitely been!
