I don't really like to draw when someone brings an illustration of someone's picture and asks to do the same. However, sometimes you have to do such things. Once I tried to make a picture, copying it with all the details, changing only one important detail.
It was a birthday present for one of my wife's good friends. The fact that this girl herself artists still know how to sew dolls and bears. I wanted to make her a picture that was as beautiful as possible and the theme of her work.
My wife chose an illustration and I began to draw. Did the work of gouache, using the technique of dry and semi-dry brush. While drawing, so imbued with the process that I even liked myself, and wanted to work in the future in such a technique.
There are not so many colors, but the picture takes the other, its detail and the overall impression of a fun composition. I put the work in a vintage frame and it turned out no worse than the original.
If you reveal the secret, the Central doll, which sits next to the bear, not from here, there ,in the original image, it seemed to me uninteresting and rude, so I allowed myself a little freedom and drew a doll more good-natured and funny.
