My last blog post was before COVID19 rolled into town. So many things happening around the world; my heart is breaking for all the lives we have lost to the pandemic already and for those who will still lose their lives in the coming days, weeks, and months. My heart is hurting for George Floyd and his family and I am doing all I can to read and learn and try to be a better human. Counting my blessings each and every day and so thankful that my little family has so far been healthy. Creatively speaking, this has been an exceptionally hard time. This chipmunk didn't even hit my sketchbook until early July. It has been hard to draw, hard to think, and I am giving myself a break and trying not to put extra pressure on myself because it is all just too much. Spending time outside helps. Knitting helps. I'm not sure if anyone even reads blogs anymore... If you are reading this, I hope it finds you healthy and safe. Take good care of yourself. Be well. xoxoxoNina Crittendenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05138797244541248080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112756366231183921.post-50472522522895792182020-02-20T14:36:00.001-06:002020-02-20T14:38:01.945-06:00Foxes and Carving Soap<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This sketch is drawn from a few different photo references. I tried to get all of the proportions as correct as I could. I would love to draw creatures just as they are in the natural world, but I have so far been unable to create beautifully rendered realistic art. What I picture on the paper and what actually happens on paper are two different things, but I think one informs the other.<br />
<br />
When I was in jr. high, we were given a knife and a bar of soap to carve (seems a bit devil-may-care on the teacher's part now that I think about it). I had such grand plans to carve an <i>exquisite</i> horse (or unicorn or pegasus) and I just ended up with smaller chunks of soap... That was such a great lesson for me and I still think of it often when I draw. I rarely get things to turn out on paper the exact way I hope they will and I am ok with it.<br />
<br />
What I am trying to say is that if you try to draw a real gnu and end up with something that looks like this; it's all good.<br />

It sure is nice to see the snow trade places with fresh green blades of grass. It's backyard bunny season. Turtles are back in their ponds. Springtime is here.</div>

Joey Snowball Sprinkles is a 1.5 year-old Californian rabbit. He is such a sweet boy and we are all quite taken with him. He got neutered on Friday and is recovering nicely. He's very good at eating, loves getting his face rubbed, and is a wonderful addition to our family. We need to wait about a month for Joey's boy bunny hormones to settle down and then we hope to gradually introduce the bunnies to each other. Hope that your new year is full of sweet surprises, too! xoxo<br />

Here I am with three little pugs and <a href="https://littlebeebooks.com/books/the-three-little-pugs/" target="_blank"><b>The Three Little Pugs</b></a> back in March at <a href="https://www.redballoonbookshop.com/" target="_blank">The Red Balloon Bookshop</a>. Gordy is wearing the blue ribbon, Jilly is in the green, and their real-life sister, Zoie, is in pink (I'm the one in the pug skirt). I still can't believe that <b>The Three Little Pugs</b> is a real book! Since March I have been brave and have done a handful of storytimes and met a ton of adorable kids, wonderful parents, and even a few local celebrities.</div>

Happy December! Just finished up another music book yesterday so I'm loving that sweet feeling of wrapping up a project. I have a few other things that I'm going to get back to now, so that is pretty fun. My art group got together this week and one of the gals was talking about making a list of the things you've accomplished this year and goals for the next. I hadn't ever thought about looking back on what I'd done, I'm usually too busy trudging forward. Here goes:</div>

That is a nice list! I feel kind of proud of myself now. Now I need to make a few goals for myself for the New Year (need to let that percolate for a bit). I hope that you feel proud of yourself when you reflect on the past year, it isn't always easy being a human and things get away from us sometimes... Best wishes to you as we roll into the New Year! xoxo</div>

The kids went back to school yesterday. Our summer was a good one. We went on a fun family road trip and got some stuff done around the house that we have been meaning to do for ages.<br />
<br />
The list of things I'd like to accomplish now that school has started is long and I am eager to tackle it! I have a little piece of art to make for the <a href="https://bookmarkliterary.com/" target="_blank">Bookmark Literary</a> 2018 calendar, an illustration to finish for an intensive at the <a href="https://minnesota.scbwi.org/events/2017-mn-scbwi-conference/" target="_blank">MNSCBWI Annual Conference</a>, a handful of commissions to work on, and am working on sketches for a board book dummy that I am expanding into a picture book dummy.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a fun family event, hope to see you at the <a href="http://www.mnchildrensbookfestival.com/" target="_blank">Minnesota Children's Book Festival</a>. I'll have a shift in the "So, You Want To Be An Illustrator" tent drawing with the kiddies (my friend, <a href="http://www.stephenshaskan.com/" target="_blank">Stephen Shaskan</a>, will be there, too). It is a really great festival with non-book things, too, like raptors, Bug Guys, and marble games. Check out the author/illustrator lineup, it's top notch!<br />
<br />
Oh, and be sure to visit the <a href="https://www.32auctions.com/plumcreekart2017" target="_blank">Plum Creek Online Auction</a> to bid on artwork by children's book illustrators (including <a href="https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/26185/auctions/41754/auction_items/1082028" target="_blank">three little pugs</a>). The auction opens on September 17th.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to the <a href="http://www.redballoonbookshop.com/event/trisha-speed-shaskan-and-stephen-shaskan-q-and-ray-launch-party" target="_blank">Q & Ray</a> launch party this Saturday at the Red Balloon! Hope that all is well with you, thanks for stopping by!<br />
<br />
Happy reading, writing, drawing, and back-to-schooling!<br />

SUPER excited to see my sweet friend <a href="http://www.ginaperry.com/" target="_blank">Gina Perry</a>'s book, <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/small-gina-perry/1124807738?ean=9781499804010" target="_blank">small</a>, front-and-center in the <a href="https://littlebeebooks.com/" target="_blank">little bee books</a> booth at <a href="http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/" target="_blank">BEA</a>! Be sure to get a copy when it comes out this August! Gina was kind enough to point out that my new book, The Three Little Pugs, is at BEA, too (lower right)! The kind folks at little bee sent me a closer-up photo of the folded & gathered copy of the pugs:<br />

The official pub date is March 6, 2018.<br />
I'm currently working on another piano music book and am almost done with the sketches. This book is going to feature some busy ants, a penguin and fox duo, and even a hammerhead shark!<br />
While I am not the best at remembering to blog here, I still post every other week at <a href="http://thesketchables.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Sketchables</a> and pretty regularly on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nvcrittenden/" target="_blank">instagram</a>.<br />
Did you know that we have a bunny? His name is Pickles and he is the cutest. Gordy has been keeping a pretty close eye on him.<br />

Ten years ago I attended my first kid book conference. Today I am revising my own picture book that will be published in 2018. A lot can happen in ten years. Keep drawing, keep writing, never give up. </div>

Look at this adorable magnet! I ordered it from <a href="http://www.purebuttons.com/" target="_blank">PureButtons</a> and am thrilled with how it turned out. I also placed an order with <a href="http://www.standoutstickers.com/" target="_blank">StandOut Stickers</a> and am working on a bookmark and probably a postcard, too, that I will order from <a href="http://www.gotprint.com/home.html" target="_blank">GotPrint</a>. I have ordered from GotPrint for ages, their prices are great as is the quality and customer service. StandOut Stickers is a terrific company, I have ordered from them before, too. There will for sure be a giveaway here when CL makes her debut, so stay tuned (and I will get all of my ducks, er, chickens... in a row)! xo</div>

Breathing a sigh of relief- it's a new year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm excited for everyone to meet Chicken Lily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and looking forward to making loads of new art,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cheering on friends as their books are published,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
submitting my new book dummy to publishers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
knitting some new scarves, reading lots of books,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and drinking cup after cup after cup of tea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing you every happiness in 2016!</div>
