Alive forest (process: the beginning and the final work)

Hey! I would like to present several steps until I have reached the final result of this work. That is the first picture of the series ALIVE FOREST. I made a few new things in the drawing practice during this process. Ones of the main tasks were: - to reveal materials; - to catch the light; - to fix the moment when the cranberry berries are giving for the Flying leaf; - to keep and to highlight the main character in this image-Wooden Goddess. Because its form is enough complicated and difficulty tangible as one inseparable shape.

I hope, that You enjoy this illustrated narrative:)
