Depicting baby birth, 'The Legendary Stork' by Isabelle Gouget, blends legends and imagination to answer kids' questions. Created in Photoshop, no AI used.
"The Legendary Stork" by Isabelle Gouget symbolizes the moment of a baby's birth. I wanted to provide an answer to the questions that young children have about the arrival of babies. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, I felt the urge to blend legends and imagination to depict the moment of birth. In France, skeptical young children are told that storks bring babies to homes.

This image has evolved significantly over time. Initially, I experimented with several compositions before envisioning a cave representing the passage from the mother's womb to the light of day. I then searched for reference photos of caves. Next, I started placing some gray marks on my virtual canvas to outline the elements of the cave. I made multiple attempts to find the immersive perspective for the stork's position. Once the perspective was established, I sketched the stork with rounded forms and positioned the baby it carries.
