Creative Word #6: Shalala

This illustration was inspired by the word "Shalala", submitted by Richelle. A Shalala is a magical story that is sung by a tribe of bears called the Shala that live inside majestic cloud kingdoms in the sky. Each song creates tiny clouds that carry bear cubs off to far corners of a distant world where new kingdoms are formed and new stories are told.

My last creative word illustration was last October and that is hard to believe! Where has the time gone? Life has been very busy and I am finally finding some time to spend drawing on personal projects again. :)

Just to recap, the creative word project is fueled by words submitted to me by you. I take each word and make up a simple story/description and illustration starting with a sketch and finishing with a completed full color image. So just leave a word in the comments below and I will add it to my list! Thanks!
