The Yearling Colored

Ink, gouache, and digital. I tried to follow the value study as closely as possible.

The Yearling

"Almost every day he took his gun and shot-bag 
and went into the woods with Flag."

In college we were taught the importance of value studies before starting an illustration. It only took me four and a half years to fully appreciate what our teachers were trying to hammer into us.

This is based off an excerpt from "The Yearling." So excited to paint this now!
