Rainbow Unicorn

Here is a brand-new coloring page for the kiddies. 

There are many more pictures to color over at my website, too.

Happy Monday! Happy Coloring! Happy Rainbow Unicorns!

Flying Mermaid

My youngest asked me to draw a flying mermaid a while ago, and this is what I came up with... Wouldn't it be wonderful to fly? My head has been in the clouds a little bit lately, my book dummy is really (finally!) starting to come together and I am just having the most fun working on it. Wishing you clear skies and calm seas! nvc

Spooky Coloring Pages

Get out your crayons and markers, little goblins and ghouls! I posted these a while back before all the images on my blog went missing, so they are officially back from zee dead. Zombie coloring pages, even! Scary!!!

I would be thrilled to post any pages that have been colored by your kiddies, so just email me photos or scans of their masterpieces if they'd like me to. nvc@ninacrittenden.com I vant to post your art (vampire voice)... Hope you all have a very Happy Halloween!!!

p.s. This also works great for Illustration Friday's topic this week: Scary! Boo!

Cinco de Mayo

Here is a new coloring page for the kiddies! Click, print, and enjoy!

Toad Stool

Here is a new coloring page for the kiddies (just click and print)! I took this coloring page with me this past Saturday on an outing with The Ink Well Foundation to Children's Hospital in St. Paul. It was a real honor to be there with such amazing artists and such incredible kids! You can view some of the photos here. A very special thank you to Elizabeth Winter for asking me to be a part of such a wonderful organization! Looking forward to the next one! :)

Illustration Friday: Spooky

It is always nice to go trick-or-treating with your Mummy...

Here is a page for boys and ghouls to color!

Happy Halloween!

Dragon Coloring Page

Happy Monday! How are ya!?! I was lucky enough to chat with Elizabeth Raum, the author of Cedric and the Dragon, this weekend. She has a couple book events coming up and was wondering if I would make a dragon coloring page! So fun! (Click on it to enlarge and/or print!)

The reviews are already rolling in:

"I think it's great!" (my five-year-old)

"It's very cute and very, very fun to color!" (my seven-year-old)

This week, we have a break from summer camp, so I hope to make more progress on mural number one and have a portrait to finish. Hope all is well on your end! Happy Coloring!!!

Invierno

Happy Friday! Here is a new coloring page for the kiddies! I am in charge of planning the winter party for my daughter's first grade class next week, so I hope they like it. Here's to winter, snow, hats, mittens, snowmen, scarves, and penguins!!!

I Heart To Color!

Here is a new coloring page for the kiddies. Enjoy!

John Lennon

John Lennon was the winner of the Favorite Beatle poll! Dang! I should have drawn a walrus!
Here is a new coloring page of winter animals for the kiddies. I would be happy to post any colored-in coloring pages if kids would like to send them in! Or, we could start a new feature: Coloring Pages by Guest Artists! Ooh! Great idea! If any of my lovely art friends out there want to color in this page... send it to me and I'll post it and have you be a featured artist on my blog! It would be so cool, like crossover tv shows when Laverne and Shirley end up hanging out with the Fonz on Happy Days! Send your image in to nvc@drawnhome.com Happy coloring!!!

Boo!

EEEK! Here is a coloring page I made for my daughter's Halloween party, complete with candy corn! Happy Haunting, Everyone!

Coloring Page No. 2

Here is another coloring page for the kiddies. I sent off 6 sketches to Alma Little today, so I am excited to hear what they think of them. Had a very weird art dream last night: I was drawing in a waiting room somewhere and someone tried to sit on me, so I left and ended up an extra in Tobey Maguire's new 70's-based-peace-love-and-hippie drama. Oh, my website has been freshly updated with a few new illustrations and a better link to my blog. Happy Monday!

Coloring Page!

After submitting my storyboard thumbnail sketches to the folks at Alma Little this week, I received some great feedback and now have a few sketches to revise. Very cool! As I am still not 100% certain what I should or should not post pertaining to the book, I will instead offer up a coloring page for any kids who might like it. My oldest daughter has trained me to scan in my images before I paint them, so she can color them. I am happy to. Plus, my friend's daughter has been itching for a picture, too. Emma, this one's for you!
