My family and I were out driving long, winding West Virginian roads yesterday. It was sunny and warm enough and there were too many rolling hills and cows for the countryside's own good.

It made me think of Luna. Which makes me think of Harry, thinking of Luna. And them in long and warm summers spent outside (Luna would insist on it) as the day dies down.



You can view the original pencils here.

I always feel conflicted when it comes to putting something in 'digital art' or 'traditional art'. It's hard, because when you color something, that tends to be the first thing noticed about it, which is why a lot of my digitally-colored pieces I put in that category.

But then there is always the fact that I find the heart of any illustration I do in the pencils. Which is why this is labeled 'Traditional'.

My first real, if casual, try at painting digitally in a long, long time, so pardon the mess.
