Illustration Friday: Toy

April 1, 2011 Posted by Scott DuBar Children's Illustration, Illustration

UPDATE: Here’s the final piece in glorious, living color! Below is the pencil version.

Basically the idea for this is how kids can turn just about anything into a toy and be totally happy. I know I wasn’t the only one who ever got some big new toy for Christmas or a birthday, played with it for ten minutes, then went off and played in the box it came in for hours.

I really like how this came out, so will try to finish it and post an update soon. Any feedback is welcome!

Paul Oelerich
Editor, Utah Adventure Journal
“I contracted Scott in 2011 to design a large backdrop illustration for a trade show booth that my company was creating for the 2012 New York Toy Fair. Scott did an absolutely fantastic job putting the illustration together (on-time) and completely exceeding all of my expectations. I really enjoyed working with him and plan on working with him again. The quality of his work was great, and everyone that saw the backdrop commented on how great it was. Thanks a lot!”
