Now that the dissertation is over and done with I have been spending my time reading through fairy tales (mostly Grimm’s for the time being), and picking out scenes that I feel depict the more horrific sides to them and drawing out how I imagine them to be before I will eventually create more large scale work.
I am picturing my sketchbook becoming something of an intricate picture book that, when looked at properly, shows the misery and suffering brought upon the characters within the tales.
However it is sometimes difficult to ignore the more ridiculous tales that I come across while reading.
(Also: I’ve made the mistake of drawing 300 candles for the story ‘Godfather Death’ and am planning on doing the same image again digitally. What on earth am I getting myself into?)
I’ve finished the first of my large scale digital images, but haven’t printed it full size yet due to money issues (big prints are expensive!). However, I have it printed and mounted at A1 size, which still gives a good impression of what I have done for it. I’m really pleased and want to get more done because it’s more interesting for me to work this way.
Let’s hope these candles aren’t the end of me.
