Starfish

Another example of illustration work I've completed for Christ Fellowship. This is my interpretation of the Starfish story. This illustration was used for the cover of the Bible study guide Helping Others by Pastor Marc Limbaugh. Pencil, ink, and watercolor.

Here's a sample of the story Marc used in the guide:

By now, most of us have heard the story about the little boy who was walking along the beach and picking up starfish that had washed ashore. A man questioned what the boy was doing and the little boy replied, “I’m saving these starfish from dying on the beach.” The man chided his efforts with a gentle rebuke, “Son, there are thousands of starfish that have been washed up on this beach. Do you really think you’re going to make a difference?” Without stopping what he was doing, the little boy picked up the next starfish and hurled it into the ocean...“I’m making a difference for this one.”
