I love drawing fairy tales and legends. And it just so happens I have been working on a series for Hansel and Gretel. I finished and scanned these just today. So it is my lucky week for IF. On my last post I put up the first picture in the series, so you can check it out here.
And don't forget to stay tuned for the rest of the Hansel and Gretel series. Hopefully I'll have them done by the end of the week. I really like how they are coming along. Your in for a treat, oh boy!
One more thing, check out my new blog, its all about illustration for children's books. There in not too much content on it yet but we are getting there. Shawna and I have some great plans for it so don't miss out.
I don't even like children's books (being neither a child nor a parent) but I have to respect that art, it rocks!
ReplyDeleteNice depth in both of these, I also really like the colors and movement in the top one as well as the rendering on the trees, nice work!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you're work is so wonderful! The top one really rocks! The composition, perspective, the energy and movement, and the color, oh my, the color!

The gingerbread house is amazing. I love how you manage to be expressive but still portray a space that draws you in.
