Follow the white rabbit


So my girlfriend had this series of Alice and wonderland inspired dreams that inspired me, so I tried to take one of them and put them down on paper. I don't know if I got close to how it was in her head, and my interpretation is probably a little darker, but I really like this piece. The idea was to make everything as natural as I could but then to play with the scale. It took a while to get the right perspective. I wanted it to feel like a subjective point of view where you were spying on the raabit. Also I wanted there to be a question as to whether the rabbit was really small or if the forest was really large. Hopefully that makes this feel surreal. I also abstracted the rabbit into a flat shape becuase that's how I saw him in my head and I tike the idea of flat, abstract shapes juxstaposed to fully renderedm round ones. I cheated a bit with the color of the mushrooms but it felt right with the palette. I'm thinking of making this one into a print.
It's a combination of watercolor, acrylic, ink and color pencil with some white conte for highlights.
