The Steadfast Tin Soldier

This double page spread is inspired by The Steadfast Tin Soldier 

story by Hans Christian Andersen. The illustration is created using mixed media, combining various techniques, such as Printmaking, Watercolour painting and Digital Painting (using Adobe Photoshop.) Both the unique colour scheme and the tension in the composition create a feeling of suspense and excitement in the reader's mind of what it might happen on the next page.
