This is an image I've had in my head for awhile and I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at getting it on paper. Have you heard of Owl City? I started to say it's a music group, but really it's the musical project of a one-man-band, Adam Young. He does a song called Fireflies that I think is kind of adorable.
The name Owl City was just too rich to pass up as an inspiration source. I started with a sketch on this postcard-sized watercolor paper… Then for a little color… Initially, I was going for a Southwest Adobe kind of palette but it came out a little brighter than intended. Still good though. After a full day of midterms, it was just what I needed!
