A pirate story

Here is an illustration I had to do in two days. It was really fun to do, It came to a point where I didn't even want to finish, I wanted to keep putting in more and more detail. This illustration is for an upcoming Children's book I just finished. It should be ready to be purchased by Christmas.

Also I wanted to show the process behind this illustration, its crazy how a simple drawing can have so much life after color has been added. I did several of drawings that wouldn't work because if the boat structure, once I left out some of the boats parts, it just didn't feel authentic.

I love the subtle color in this illustration, its really gray but I love this color palette.
