Fall Go West! Craft Fest Flyer

I was very happy to have the opportunity to design the upcoming Go West! Craft Fest flyer.


The birds are all birds that migrate through Philly in the fall: The Philadelphia vireo, an eastern bluebird, and a blackburnian warbler, plus a nuthatch because they're naturally acrobatic. 

I read about trees in The Woodlands to decide what kind of leaves to draw, and I learned that the first ginkgo tree was brought to the US and planted in the Woodlands. They're such a pretty yellow color in the fall too (even though they smell!)

Here's a look at my preliminary drawing:

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen some of the progress shots too:

I FINALLY have time to sit and draw this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing everyone at different events, but drawing's the best. #wip #illustration #squirrel #sarahdrawsthings

If you are around Philly in October, I'd highly recommend this event!
