ABOUT

A fox suspended mid-leap, hunting for a rodent hidden beneath the snow. Warm orange fur contrasts with the cool purples and blues of the winter forest, while soft golden light filters through the trees.

Created as a sample illustration for an educational book about the forest, this piece brings together my love of wildlife and a painterly approach to digital illustration. I focused on the fox’s movement and concentration, the texture of its fur, and the quiet atmosphere of the woodland.

The process images show the illustration developing from the initial colour blocking to the finished scene.
