Two different stages of a work in progress for an illustration for the program for the 2013 Winkie Convention, the longest running Wizard of Oz convention in the world. This year the convention is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of L. Frank Baum’s “The Patchwork Girl of Oz.” I chose to illustrate a scene from that book where Toto captures a ‘Hopper,’ a citizen of one of the mountainous regions of OZ. The ‘Hoppers’ have one leg that they hop around on.
I created my illustration in the style of John R. Neill who was the illustrator on 13 of the Oz books that Baum wrote, including “The Patchwork Girl of Oz.” He also wrote and illustrated a couple of his own Oz books after Baum’s death. I drew my illustration using Painter 12. I first sketched it out using one of Painter’s digital pencil brushes and then inked it using Painter’s scratchboard pen brush.

Actually, the Woozy WAS in a movie. Just not a recent movie.

More things I do in my free time. As long as I’m doodling children’s lit. characters, I might as well as use it an excuse to draw Oz. Scraps is my favorite but she is ridiculously difficult to draw. I’m happy with this result and her and the Scarecrow are the cutest thing ever, so “Happy Couple” it is titled.

Day 25: Favorite Monster GirlI totally don’t have a favorite so I’ll draw two that I like. This one is Scraps from The Patchwork Girl of Oz
This is a really cute depiction of Scraps and Bungle.
What a birthday without cake? I don’t think any miniaturized monkeys are going to jump out of this one, though.

John R. Neill’s preparatory cover sketch forThe Runaway in Oz, which he never finished illustrating. In the late nineties, Eric Shanower edited the manuscript and illustrated the book.

Later, Neill revealed that a vehicle like this is called a Spoolicle.
