I thought to increase my gallery in a children books web site where I have some ordering

A client commissioned me to illustrate a children's cover book. He did not know exactly what he needed, so I had to do lot of sketches. One of them was this one thet I present you.
It is not choosen, but I guessed it would be a very nice image to increase my Childrensillustrators web gallery.
I did the sketch directly on computer, I kept the same initial concept but I changed a little the eyes separation in final version.

In my opinion, painting can make a great difference in the final result, can make an image alive, so I decided to try something new. A sort of simple 2D rendered painting as I usualy do in some pin-ups, less textures, free brushes, no art-line, higher skin tone, etc.

I hope you like the image.
