Baby Week with the PBJ Aunties

Its Baby Week at the PBJ's!

Which is fantastic because I happen to adore babies

and have discovered they are one of my favorite subjects to illustrate.

But most of all because we are super excited for

our newest member in the PBJ family, our very own

little Peanut Butter Cup!

Babies!

I think all artists have their own favorite subjects to sketch. For me it had always been first animals and then kids.

Until one day an art director asked me if I had some babies to show him.

Babies? No, I didn't have any, not even one in my portfolio!

So I decided to sketch some and boom!.. I immediately fell in love with them.

I honestly don't know why I never sketched them before or why I didn't have any in my portfolio. I am a children's illustrator after all, LOL. Just one of those things I guess.

But I truly feel they are one of the best subjects to work on. I love the mixture of cuteness, warmth and innocence that a baby inspires. I just can't stop smiling when I am sketching them. :o)

Maybe I love them so much because my real babies are 12 and 9..

..years old that is! Man, they grow too fast I tell you.

So how about you, do you have a favorite subject to work on?
