Day 51: an inspired comet

When I was in Sweden this summer, I was introduced to beloved Finnish children's book author, Tove Jannson. Her character, Moomintroll is a fun hippo/bear creature. She had a very Bohemian world view and reading the tales of the whimsical Moomintroll family adventures makes me covet that free lifestyle. 


A comet inspired by the first Moomintroll book, Comet in Moominland. From one ofTove Jannson's wood block prints.

Materials: recreated with pen (colored pencil too)
Time: 20 minutes

Close up with color added
