Description
This is an illustration I did years ago on the back cover of one of my Akiko comics in tribute to the illustrator of the original Winnie the Pooh books, E. H. Shepard. I inserted my characters Akiko and Gax into the scene but otherwise tried to remain very faithful to Shepard's amazing method of drawing trees and scenery.Related content

Wow, this is well done. I didn't know you were the one who made the Akiko books. I remember reading those a long time ago.

I started to draw because of Shepard's work in the Pooh books and I still doodle trees his way. His work is so strong that even after decades of Disneyfication the first images to spring to mind when I think of Pooh are Shepard's. Great work.

I can completely see Shepherd's inspiration in this. I knew exactly what it was before I even saw the title. This is gorgeous.

when i saw the thumb-nail my though was "Why is Mark Crilley drawing winnie the pooh?" Then I look and see your own little twist and its a very creative picture.
