I was recently comissioned by a children’s magazine to create a full-page illustration of the Amazon jungle containing eight hidden frogs. The budget was low and the deadline was a little tight, so I did the best I could with the time I had. I’m fairly happy with how it turned out, except I’m concerned I may not have hidden the frogs well enough (the target audience is 2nd and 3rd graders). But for the budget offered I just didn’t have the time to paint anything more complex. That’s the balance a freelancer has to try and strike sometimes. I just submitted it so we’ll see what the client says. Also, it looks more washed out in RGB than it does in CMYK, not sure why. But it will hopefully print with more contrast than it has when you view it on a computer screen.
