Force of Nature - Sketch

This was a lot of fun designing.  I knew that I wanted to depict a druid while casting a spell and I thought what better way to illustrate it than to show one while summoning forth the power of the wind.  It was a challenge to get the gust of his hair and robe just right, but the end result is that the composition flows well with the movement of the leaves.

I am currently painting this in oil.
