Stage I: Departure

Pencil on paper, 2006 by Dean Kuhta.

Notecard size: 5 x 7 inches (white envelop included)

This is a pencil drawing for a series that I began in 2006. It is the cover illustration for the first book in the Silvarum series. The drawing does not represent a particular character in the story. It is more of a metaphor. Can you guess what it means? Also, can you see the little skeleton guy sitting at the base of the tree?
