This cute illustration is inspired by my son's 7th birthday, where we celebrated in the forest with pinetrees and woodland animals as a theme. The illustration perfectly captures his imagination. At the table, decorated with a glowing chain and branches, sits a happy boy with a big smile, surrounded by his faithful friends, the teddy bear, the rabbit and a small fish (that steals soda from the teddy bear). They are all ready to have a party with birthday hats, popcorn and sweet cupcakes.

For this illustration I've used watercolours, gouache and luminance colored pencils to create a vibrant and colorful illustration that gives a feeling of joy and magic. The green tones in the background emphasize the forest's slightly mysterious and adventurous atmosphere, while the warm colors of the table and gifts provide a nice contrast and a feeling of warmth and coziness. This illustration is a tribute to childrens imagination and the simple joys of celebrating your birthday with good friends, both real and imaginary.
