Expressions in an Children's Illustration

     The facial expressions in children's work capture the attention and quickly tell the story. Children from birth focus on the face and can relate very much to the emotional elements in faces.  This means a lot when verbal language is still in development and illustrations that capture the emotional elements well help to standardize the child's response and understanding of a particular word or phrase for the future.  Facial expressions also demand a lot more involvement personally with any given story.

Children's Art

Children are very dear little beings to me, as they are full of fun possibilities.  It is so fun to catch their interest and help them to develop in a good way.  They are fresh, imaginative and love the same.  Illustrating for them or creating games and crafts for them is really enjoyable to me.  Please check out my  art gallery blogsite http://bumbershoots-and-daisies.blogspot.com/ and Daisy Bumbershoot on facebook as well.  I also feature artwork for sale periodically on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/people/DaisyBumbershoot.

This is Little Bull and with digital work I can modify him or put him in new settings.
This is very convenient for children's illustrations or animations.

Little Bull with Rose

Little Bull is in a dusty field now.
I think setting him in a background gives him more personality.
