Norman Rockwell was and still is a very influential artist for me.
His birthday just passed it was on February 3rd.
This is a tribute to his work, It's a recreation of his original [link]
I didn't want this to be just a copy so I added a bit of myself into it. I imagined what the young couple would do in the next shot of them and decided to change the position of their heads and also the puppy's head
This was all done in photoshop using the standard round brush at different opacities, except the initial sketch which was done in sketchbook pro. I got the paper texture from CGtextures.com
Anyway I really hope you like it and hope I did Norman's original justice.
have you ever read a book called "ben loves ana" (iīm not sure if thatīs the real tittle, but in spanish itīs "ben quiere a ana" so..) it reminds me so much the style of your illustration with the story of the book so nice
