Ben struggles to keep up with Nathaniel and the bear as they pass through a dense section of forest where shafts of moonlight illuminate their path.

I’d been putting off this page for weeks while the sketch sat on my desk untouched. It’s funny how no matter how many pages I’ve drawn, I still have days where I can’t muster up the courage to work on a drawing, seriously doubting my ability to do the idea in my head justice. Fortunately, I’m really happy with the result of this and glad I finally decided to tackle it!

“And so we listened.
Amid the bubbling and gurgling of the river below
we could hear the swish, swish of the pampas grass
the cawing of crows
and barely make out the soft echo of a distant passing train.
But no jumping fish.
Not one.”

This was drawn in pencil, watercolor, and some dabs of gouache here and there on Arches archival watercolor paper. (10"x14")

WHEW! My wrist is so sore after drawing the sky for this one! I need someone to invent a machine that will draw random swirls for me for hours. Or hire a swirl assistant. This was drawn in pencil, watercolor, and some dabs of gouache here and there on Arches archival watercolor paper. (10"x14")
