Guardian of the Trees

I’ve been sketching all these little trolls and fairies that will populate the third act of my upcoming comic, The Bear King. ¬†Last week, I made a forest guardian that was grass-themed, so this week, I thought I’d make one that was tree-themed. ¬†I sketched this at the park with pencil and a Pentel Color Brush.

Baba Yaga’s Hut

I was always intrigued by the imagery of Baba Yaga’s hut. ¬†I started playing with it a bit one day in my sketchbook. ¬†I kept adding layers of tracing paper to the sketch and refining the image.

Finally, I took the top layer and put it on a light box.  I inked it on a sheet of bristol board.

The image still seemed lacking, so I brought it into Photoshop and added layers of creepy tree branches to act as a frame of sorts.
