Bully-Proof

This is my entry for this month's SCBWI Illustration Contest. The topic for the illustration was "Old School, New Year". The directions were to:

"Illustrate a scene showing a child or teen getting ready for the new school year. This is a kid with BIG PLANS for the new term. You decide what the plans are and show his or her preparations."

I think I accomplished the task quite nicely with my geek in his homemade "bully-proof" vest and "boxing defender" headband. Oy! Lets only hope that the judging panel feels the same way because I could really use that free SCBWI membership. :)

This illustration was fun because I really enjoy drawing geeky kids. I toyed with some layers of texture but it didn't look quite the same as the clean color and line that this version has, so I left it as is.

Anyways... this is my geeky (yet confident and well protected) student. Enjoy!
