I used this photo as reference:

I took the left tree and added to an ocean+moon background.  
Hope you like this piece! 😃 🎉 🐈

Helo Maki, your media choices actually work better than the reference photo. Loved the way you changed background to make a totally new piece.

Hello Lenet, thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, drawings have a lot more flexibility for materializing your own vision compared to photograph. I once was working on photograph pretty seriously, but I did not like the frustration that I had to live with the actual photo shooting settings. So, I am really glad I’ve shifted to drawings! 😃 🐈 👍

Beautiful! Do you have a website where you sell your work?
