This piece finally came to me after a bunch of other ideas got thrown to the way side. It was originally supposed to be serious i guess, but half way through it i decided to call an audible because i felt like doing a cartoonish fun piece. Honestly i dislike how far off the page the boy is because it shifts the focus towards the tree but breaks the relationship between them a bit. with that being said i still like it, but i might redo it though. Process was in company with my usual work flow. Sketched on paper, scanned into Painter 12 this time, (switched it up a bit on you, lol), base layer, shadows layer, highlights, polish, then finally the background.
