This Search & Find illustration transforms a routine dental visit into an engaging visual puzzle for children. Every object, clue, and character was carefully designed to encourage observation, critical thinking, and fun. This time-lapse (WIP) showcases my illustration process from the initial sketch to the finished artwork. Perfect for children's magazines, activity books, educational content, and hidden-object puzzle projects.

๐ Behind the Scenes: Cover WIP โ๏ธ๐จ
Every finished illustration starts with a simple sketch. Here's a look at the work-in-progress behind the cover of Landon's Buzzer Beater, showing how the concept evolved through composition, character refinement, and color before becoming the final artwork. It's always rewarding to watch a story come to life one brushstroke at a time.
I hope you enjoyed following the journey from sketch to finished cover! More illustrations from this inspiring story are coming soon. โจ
