My first digital watercolor painting inspired by a request one of my co-workers gave me for an art piece. She wanted me to draw a piece involving one of her favorite Winnie the Pooh characters, Eeyore, as the main subject. This is surprisingly one of the very few attempts I've made at doing background art in a very long time.

So instead of the Disney version that a lot of people are quite accustomed to, I decided to take influence from one of my favorite versions of the character from the original stories by A. A. Milne and illustrator E. H. Shepard. This version definitely did hit a cord of nostalgia for me since it was one of my biggest influences in my work from the days of checking out library books in Middle School. I tried my best to emulate overall somber and whimsical tone of the original stories the best I could at the time.

This was definitely a much more relaxing experience and fun overall. Something about painting this was extremely peaceful for me at the time.
