Description Happy Fan Art Friday everybody!! This piece is based on my favorite book - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. I really wish the colors would have scanned a little better, this piece positively glows in person. 

Watercolor, gold gel pen, and sepia fineliners on Fluid hot press paper. 

The original piece is 6"x8" and will stay in my studio Prints will be available on my Etsy store!

Your composition combines various visual themes from the book in an elegant manner. The fox holding the rose is an especially touching portrayal, and the geometric division of the background is an appealing design.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with it - I wanted to find a way to blend my style with the original illustrations, and I think this was a good solution

oh really nice piece I particularly like the fox!
Remains me childhood so much.
Colours are vibrant even if you're not 100% satisfied with the scan ^^

Thank you so much!! It's weird, I didn't read the book until high school, but it's been such a huge part of my life since then.

I'm from France so I guess we hear about it a bit more than you ^^
But not everybody read it and moreover not everybody is sensitive to the poetry of this book!

I'm new in DA and I've no clue if it's rude to ask but I really like your drawing, the composition and the colour so...
May I ask you if you would accept to sell the non-watermark file for personal use (background for computer or print)?
If not I totally understand! and that's ok!

I love that book too! I think the colours scanned just fine, they are very beautiful. The composition is very elegant and balanced, and the fox is so majestic
