rough draft - barnyard

We visited the zoo during spring break, which gave me this idea when we visited the petting zoo. This is obviously only a rough draft which I did mostly in Painter. I must admit that I prefer doing the drawing on scratch paper before painting it (as in, I'm not as proficient doing it on the computer), but I decided to try it out this way. I drew a few animals and the barnyard, selected the ones I felt worked best together, laid them out in Illustrator, then added the children in Painter. I'll try to get the entire thing painted soon, but weekends make it harder to get things done . . . so maybe next week.
