Here are the last illustrations I did for the story in "Einaiym" (Eyes) magazine. This time I wanted to do it in colored pencils only, playing a bit with overlay of different layers. It was fun!  

Some last illustrations

Image
This is the illustration I did for the last issue of children magazine "Einayim".  I did in a bit different technique - gouache background and pencil lines, combined together in Photoshop. But I think that my favorite technique in illustration is still watercolor&watercolor pencils - technique I use a lot in on-location sketches as well. Lately I got for the first time to illustrate the gate for the magazine. It was the "leadership" issue and I was asked to illustrate a bunch of leaders from Israel and the world ;)

Emotional balance - illustrations for "Einayim"

Here are the illustrations I did for the last "Einayim" issue, which theme was "balance". The story was about finding your emotional balance, very important subject for young children to deal with, I think. I wanted to try a different technique, so these illustrations done with acrylic on grey cardboard.

My first concert

Image
Here are new illustrations I did for "Einayim" - children's magazine. The story is about the boy, who's dreaming to be a conductor. One day his uncle invites the boy to join him to a classic music concert, and the story is about the boy's experience of his first concert. I was trying to remember when I went to my very first concert. Listening live classic music is magic, but it should be real magic to experience it for the first time!

At the heart of the public garden

Image
I want to share some process of illustrating  the story for the last " Einayim " magazine. The issue subject was "garden". This time the writer Shoham Smith invited me to come with her together to look for the story. We met in Gan Meir in the heart of Tel Aviv and strolled in the garden together, trying to find the story. Shoham shared with me her ideas and I tried to sketch them up and also I've took a lot of pictures. It was fun! Next step was making sketches in the studio: After series of sketches the final illustration was approved. The story is about a homeless, sitting on the bench and feeling invisible for the visitors of the garden. Here is the final illustrations. As usual, the process is more enjoyable than seeing the finished illustration printed. But that's what's stay with as at least - the result.

Old buttons shop

Image
The last illustration I did for the column in "Hapinkas" was for a song about an old buttons shop. The hero of the column - a little boy, discover an old buttons shop, peak inside and  see very old lady over the counter, that looks a bit like a magician with boxes full of spells and magics behind her. There is something nostalgic and magic in buttons for me also. I'm still keeping at home my grandma's old wooden box full of color buttons, everyone in different shapes and materials. They remind me my childhood, and still seem to me as a box full of treasure! sketch of the Buttons' Lady one of the sketches the final illustration  I wish you to find some magic in everyday life!
