My Principal asked me to start doing these literacy posters for kids as part of our "Great 8" initiative. Essentially it is 8 steps to reading better that in my opinion the kids don't really understand. So like most non art people he thought I could just rip something out in an hour... which I could have but I wouldn't have wanted that hanging in the front office. I decided I'd take up the challenge, think outside of the box. So I included the original sketch in this so you can see my ideas, the Pirate was a last minute add. Well after I did this poster I thought it also worked well as just a regular reading poster... so here it is, hopefully this makes up for all of the times I drew Psylock and Rouge in lesbian scenes. I looked at a lot of Chris Sanders work during this (Lilo and Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon) so I shout out to him. This is also my first attempt at hammering out line art it's a little rough (shuttle) but over all I'm happy with it.
