This image was inspired by background paintings done by Eyvind Earle for the Walt Disney classic, Sleeping Beauty. The story behind this image is about a boy playing in the snow, watching how his leaf-parachute dances in the wind, and making the most of a situation that most people would not find joyful. I attempted to produce the simple yet detailed brush strokes seen in the Sleeping Beauty film. I also focused on keeping strong silhouettes, while creating movement for the eye to dance around the picture in theme of the dancing leaf-parachute.
I am trying to improve my brushwork and attention to detail so any feedback would be great, cheers!
