So here is where I am so far with developing one of the sketches. There is still quite a lot of work to be done. I wanted to talk a little bit about my process or more importantly my references and where i get inspiration.
I just got a new book, on Arthur Rackham. An amazing illustrator who's images tell stories of fairy tails but within a dark world that has real danger. What I love most about his images is his depictions of nature. To me he shows so mush love for drawing trees rocks, and clouds etc.. that show knowledge from observation and yet a very personal touch.
Here is the Drawing i Did of the Grandmother dragging her grand children into the woods.
As I am not dumb enough to put my work next to Mr Rackham's I invite everyone to check out his work and read about him but mostly enjoy the stories he illustrated.
