This piece is entitled 'A World of Hope', and it was my entry for this year's postcard contest held by the UNICEF. Although I wasn't chosen among the finalists, I am quite happy with the results. According to the brief, it had to be visually attractive for kids and far apart from commercial art styles. The illustration goes around the concept of children as mankind's hope for a new, better world. I used Corel Painter over a scanned lineart, trying to mimic traditional brushes. I would like critique about composition and color. Comments are welcome. Thanks for considering.
