Ben struggles to keep up with Nathaniel and the bear as they pass through a dense section of forest where shafts of moonlight illuminate their path. I’d been putting off this page for weeks while the sketch sat on my desk untouched. It’s funny how no matter how many pages I’ve drawn, I still have days where I can’t muster up the courage to work on a drawing, seriously doubting my ability to do the idea in my head justice. Fortunately, I’m really happy with the result of this and glad I finally decided to tackle it!
