Tasmanian Devil sketches - children's book design

Concept and style sketches of Tasmanian devils for a children's book, the brief instructed them to be stylized in a way that emphasizes a cute and meek appearance when mouth closed and amusingly overstated when their mouths are open, "I see them as pretty much a mouth on legs, when they open their mouth it should be as if everything else disappears,"

This was an interesting opportunity to create some stylized images of tassie devils, and to experiment with some different styles of rendering the image to create something more traditional-appearing in style using the procreate app.
