Antarctic Express Sneak Peek

I’m on deadline-mode for two book projects, so things have been a little crazy around here, but I’m happy to give you all a sneak peek of The Antarctic Express! I’m very pleased with how these turned out, both as a loving homage to Chris Van Allsburg’s The Polar Express and as examples of my new technique:Antarctic Express Sneak PeakAntarctic Express Sneak PeakAntarctic Express Sneak Peak
See a couple of the earlier sketches for these finished pieces here and here. Quite a bit has changed since those first drawings were drafted!
