    Sadami, how did I know this was little Sadami as soon as I saw it? :) Wonderful sketch! And that painting is so lovely - what a story it tells (and the viewer gets to create the story around the objects). And good luck on the picture book!!!

    Dear Rhonda,
    Ahahaha! Well, all kids, any children are so cute and lovely, aren't they! The uploaded watercolor was p4 in the submitted picture book several years ago. One day, I'd like to join it again:). So far... let's have fun in cartoons!!
    Cheers, Sadami

    Hi Sadami,

    I'm looking forward to more cartoons. The little Sadami is adorable, and I love the light, delicate composition at the end. Reminds me of spring (which is trying to arrive here in Pennsylvania).

    Yours,

    Nanina

    Hi, Nanina, thank you! Friends really love the p4. Me, too. I'd explore more in illustrations and cartoons:). Try different genres--is fun and good, when get stuck in work;) like a coffee break.

    Dear Teri,
    Thanks a lot! I do not entry the comp this year, but I'll work on a story. *Participant must make both text and pictures. Illustration is time consuming. No rush. BTY, so, Teri, you can try it with your story and pictures:)!
