My illustration for the Affectors and Drawing Book Studio 'Art of Storytelling' Exhibition, inspired by the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

I wanted to create a really pretty and dreamy portrait of the novels protagonist, Humbert. At first glance the viewer would think it is a beautiful and whimsical illustration, but in reality it is essentially a portrait of a hopeless ageing man who is completely clouded by his infatuation with the young Lolita.
