Illustration: Meet Evelyn

“Evelyn” by Erika Lynne Jones

Meet Evelyn. She is the third fictional character in my work in progress book on organic baby care. She works full time as a chemist in the cosmetics industry and commutes an hour each way by train. She has always loved her job and both of her cities, but now that she has adopted a baby, she is searching for a way to make more time to care for her six month old daughter who is the new love of her life. 

Those are just a few of the details I imagined about Evelyn before creating her. I started with a rough sketch and then transferred it to mixed media paper once I liked her. The color scheme is the same as her counterparts, Gabrielle and Nancy. I noticed it came through softer on Evelyn and Nancy. I think its because she has a softer personality then some of the other characters. I’m having fun finding explanations for my random thoughts. Can you tell?

Stay tuned for one more character next week.

Love and Blessings,

Erika Lynne Jones
