January 7, 2013: After some hard thought, I've decided to officially shut down this blog. I know I haven't updated it in a while, but I thought I should let you all know so you can remove it from your RSS feeds, etc.
Reason: I've decided that I need to find ways to make more time to read and create books.
I had great fun working on illustrating I'M BORED (written by Michael Ian Black, published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers in Sept/2012) and am now working on writing and/or illustrating new book projects. In addition to my picture book projects, I also want to get back to my novel writing.
My challenge: I want to do too many things and am currently involved in too many projects. My solution: To prioritize and cull.
You can find out what I'm working on at DebbieOhi.com or follow me on Twitter at @inkyelbows.
Thanks so much for your support and interest in my projects.

I'm curious, though. To you parents out there with babies AND iPads: is this consistent with your own experience?

Easy to use and to upload. What I like most about this app: the Sketch Club community. Fun to see the wide range of artist experience levels, plus some artists include screenshots of their works-in-progress as well as videos. Here's my test video, drawing a quickie dragon:

I'm always interesting in drawing/painting apps for the iPad, so tried out Procreate for the first time today.
See my Pixel Shavings post for a step-by-step description on how I created the image above.
