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.
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.
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

Don't think this is just another news article with the usual love deviations that have already hundreds of favorites! All of these deviations don't have even 100 favorites & they're the best!
Please watch them closely and show your appreciation! @
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

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).
