i made this illustration for the inside of a storybook. it was going to be black and white (high cost matters). which meant less work for me:) i am a big fan of color, color and everything color; but working in b/w has its really nice sides, too (apart from being less labor-intensive;). it helps you keep things quite simple and your image is less 'cluttered', therefore it is easier to draw attention to your subject. well, at least that is my take on the matter. maybe there is a much more obvious advantage of working in b/w, which i should have mentioned, like 'oooh but that's not the main point of working in b/w, it is this:...' well, i don't care. i like working in b/w because of these particular reasons and none other. hmf!this lady is the sleeping beauty's beautiful yet vain stepmother. as we all know, she kind of spends her whole time checking in the mirror if she is still the hottest chick around. well lady, if you are so confident of yourself, why do you need to ask a stupid mirror in the first place? anyway, i think this gal is by far the most interesting character in the story with her insecure sneaky personality. at least she has some motive to do something! sleeping beauty, on the other hand, just kind of... waits?
*oops! i totally mixed up stories! i jumbled sleeping beauty with snow white, ending up in a hybrid story. hehe:) well, i can say the exact same things for the equally boring snow white, too:D
