The reference I used for this piece was a photo of one of the hobbit houses in New Zealand that were created for the set of Lord of the Rings, and then I made a few changes. The landscape in the photo looked kind of overgrown, so I removed a lot of the shrubbery and added some hydrangeas around the fence to add a bit of color. I used pen and ink and Prismacolor pencils.
