Description
My sister in law is building a little theater for her son (see my blog for the project layout). I am helping her out with the decor.This is the first panel for the gates of the theater....I still don't know the details of the story behind the magical encounter between the dryad and the children, but I am sure it's a fantastic adventure. Maybe one day, at a family reunion, we will figure it out...
Copic and Prismacolor markers, pencils, and white gel pen on Canson paper.
You can see the WIP on my blog The mermaid in the living room

Thanks! The interactions between the kids and the tree were the original theme, but then... I like to have many parallel stories going on at the same time and the picture became overpopulated...so the spotlight is where your favorite scene is, I guess.

I don't even know where to start, there's just so many places that keep me fascinated in this. I really love the Eastern influence of the smoke. It still feels very childlike/fairytale-like, but also elegant and mysterious. And the way you used color in the trees seems to make the whole thing glow. They add depth as well. Really amazing work!

Thank you very much for the wonderful comment. I really like japanese clouds and I always have fun using in my drawings. It took a long time to get to the right color for the trees. I was afraid itthe green would turn out too strong and vivid, but it seems to be rather all right...^^

Thank you so much Ricky! Indeed I love drawing, but most of all I am trying to infuse in this project all the love for my little nephew Pietro, who lives in Italy and I get to see only via Skype and a few days during summer time. ^^ So glad you liked it...I hope he'll enjoy it as well!
