Step 1 - I had an idea of drawing one of my original and most beloved characters Will Forlorn  going through the dark forest carring and old lamp accompanied by little dimly spirits.

So I came up with first sketch, trying to capture that image from my mind.

Step 4 - Final watercolor illustration.

Step 5 - I combined watercolors with a bit of Photoshop to create this mystical glowing of the lamp as well as the dim lights.

I forgot to mention Will's best friend - her name is Molla, spirit of the forest :)
