Artist's Comments

Probably set sometime during Anne of Avonlea where Gil and Anne are studying for their correspondence courses and doing the A.V.I.S. thing. I can imagine them hanging out on the bridge after a long bout of studying, with Anne's head in the clouds, dreaming about the future and romantic aspirations... while Gil has his mind on decidedly more earthly delights...

It's pretty amazing to me that even twenty years after seeing Anne for the first time (and fifteen years after reading the book for the first time), it still has this sort of strange fascination for me. I've really enjoyed doing these, and hope you don't mind I've gone soft in the interim.

I has just love to say, because I love the films and especially the books.

But can I ask - what is your method on drawing? (very silly question, but I am just wondering about the pens and colouring, hee hee).

Not a silly question, I'd be happy to answer!

For these, I sketched in pencil, and then I inked over using 005 sakura micron pen. Then I made a thicker inked line around all of the "outside" edges with a 02 sakura micron. I scanned in the picture in 600dpi to Painter X and then colored everything using the watercolor tools in Painter - except the "white" bits are done with the airbrush tool. :)

Oh, I loved Anne in that book. Completely so dense to what poor Gilbert was thinking, while everyone else was just waiting for it to happen. :giggle:

Aw, I love this! I can't wait to see if you'll draw them at the alter, taking vows.... *starry-eyed*

I got the book collection ages ago, but I never read it. (I think it was around the same time I discovered the DemonWars Sagas, and they sort of abducted my book interests for a while.) You're really making me want to get that book down now, though.

And I love this; the soft coloring is gorgeous, and I love the relaxed, whimsicalish feel to it. <3
