Robot & Rico Books 1-4

In my last entry I posted the covers to some easy reader books I did earlier this year. I realized that unlike before, I haven't posted much of the work I've done this year because I've had bigger/longer assignments. This is the first of a few that I'll be able to post. The following is an image of 4 pages, each from one of the first 4 Robot & Rico books.

I thought I would post the small PDFs of the books so you guys could all see them and hopefully I could get some advice on which spreads/pages are the best for my portfolio. I've asked some of you before, but I'm still considering.
Book 1 PDF | Book 2 PDF | Book 3 PDF | Book 4 PDF

You can buy the books here:
Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, Book 4. Or you can check on Amazon.

I'm working on the next 4 books right now. I'm especially proud of how the sledding one turned out. I can't wait to show you guys!

Thanks for the nice comments guys. One thing I am continually liking with these books is the design of the Robot character. I almost wish that I was the author so I could use Robot in other things because I like drawing him so much.

I still love the camping one. Especially the random assortment of objects in the one monster's mouth. What was not in there?

Thanks again for the kind comments. And Courtney, I really glad you like that one. At the time I was drawing it, I was thinking it was the worst of them. But it retrospect it may be one of the best.

eeeek! These are crazy cool! Overall I love Robot's knuckles and how his arms lengthen/shorten depending on the task he's tackling. I LOVE "A Big Catch" & how Robot's eyes get all sparkly when he's excited or happy...ie Robot playing in the sand w/ tire & Robot holding up the boot. Love it! (and thanks for your comments btw...) Give Candice a huge hug for me, will ya?
