Illustration Friday ~ Midsummer Night

©Ginger Nielson 2011

This is an image I had just finished. It is more of a study piece than something I will be using. It has evolved from a sketch that was much larger, but I condensed it for the sake of the characters.

I do, however, plan to use this sketch, but as a daylight illustration.. and a fairly large one at that.

The boy in the tree

I moved the boy from higher in the tree to bring him closer

to the foreground and give more impact to his mission.

The tree was like a ladder to the sky. Owen climbed until he could clearly see the length of the river below. From this point, high in the tree he spotted the rowboat. As it passed beneath him he knew he had only moments to sound the alarm.
