"Winter" - for Illustration Friday

"Winter" is this week's topic on Illustration Friday and it reminded me instantly of these two illos from earlier this year.

Both of these little goodies are based on adorable true stories inspired by my sweetie pie, Lauren.

Fascinated by the intricacy of a single snowflake, Lauren took it upon herself to name it. Here's the story.
This time Lauren walked on a frozen lake for the very first time. Here's the story.

Enjoy!

I love the character design. Simple and precious.

Great vector work Nathanael, and great stories to go with it. I live in FL with my family and taking my southern girl wife and our sons up north in the winter is the best. We went sledding in Madison a couple years ago and that was a first for my wife and kids. Great time taking warm weather people to the northern winters...

@sdillondesign - Thank you! I had fun creating this simplified design. It just felt right. I appreciate the kind words!

@Phil Rood - Thanks, Phil! I totally agree it's a blast introducing people to northern winters. How cool to hear about you all going sledding in Madison! I have so many great childhood memories of sledding in that town.
