Illustration pen pal: fossil

Image
My illustration pen pal loaned me another Griffin and Sabine book , and I returned it wrapped in multiple layers of tissue paper so that opening each layer was like digging through the layers of the earth. Outer wrapper (shovel, address, and postage) Organic layer (grass) Topsoil Subsoil Reference -> sketch -> final The book was cleverly hidden under the fossil layer of tissue paper

Illustration pen pal: anglerfish box

Image
 My Griffin and Sabine pen pal sent me the first book to read, and this is the box I made to return it. The box design went through several rounds of changes and it didn't end up perfect, but overall I am very happy with it This is the first time I've used a magnetic switch – the light only turns on when the lid is opened. Concept sketch First try Second try Third try, bottom half Third try, top half Pencil drawing References are helpful! Gel pen and marker on black paper looks GOOD Attaching the LED to the battery and switch There is a magnet in the bottom front edge of the box; when the switch at the top center gets close to it, the light turns off Ready! Finishing touches added
