Description Little boy has heard rumors about a very special tree. He starts believing the tree is a magic one that will be able to help him solve all the problems he's experiencing in life. He travels to the tree, it's far, far away and it takes him the whole day. It starts getting dark just when he arrives only to see that the tree is nothing but an ordinary tree ...

He's filled with sadness, and so upset that he doesn't take his time to look around
... to see the magic stars hanging above him ...

I have been working on this for a few days, and have spent some hours on it, don't know the exact number though. But it was great practice I suppose. And most of the time lot of fun to do.

This is 25% of the original size. No reference used (yes, I should start using them ... but I never find anything that work with my ideas ... )

I'm sorry about me flooding you guys with deviations.

not sure whether you know of this community on DA => childrenillustrator and most probably you would have known 'bout it. i think you can give it a shot with their contest every month.

Thank you very much for mentioning it. I'm aware of the community, but don't think I have enough amount of children like illustrations in my gallery. Maybe I'll apply at some later point.

I wish I could say that. The fact you could say that is a good thing.

LillemorGull In reply to extoriance [2007-12-12 12:57:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes, for this one I just used the regular round brush set at 100% hardness, and just changed the size, opacity and flow.

And thank you very much.

Love the story you created for the pic. But even an ordinary tree could bring magic to his heart. Im totally in love with the hanging stars. I love hanging stars onto clouds and skies, I do the same in my pictures

Keep the great work up, sweetie.

Thank you very, very much for your sweet comment.

And about the stars ... I saw you did it in some of yours. Maybe that's where I got the idea in the first place, that I'm not sure of ... Or maybe I've seen others do it ... I also noticed that your stars were painted in a better way than mine.
