Little Red Riding Hood

Here is my main portfolio project that I did over my summer break, redesigning Little Red Riding Hood.

I placed the story within the culture of the Hopi Indian tribe and their villages in the Arizona desert. My design inspiration came from the tribe’s art, in particular their Kachina dolls which are the spirits that rule over various aspects of the tribe’s life. This can be seen particularly in the designs for the Wolf and Huntsman.

I had a lot of fun with this project especially in the research phase, learning about the Hopi Indians and their culture.

When in doubt....draw mermaids

A Sketch

In between classes today I had an hour to spare so I went on tumblr and I came across a vintage photo of a young actress playing Peter Pan. It was such a beautiful photo and just the expression on her face was that of shyness, intrigue, and innocence upon entering through the Darling’s nursery window. I just had to draw her and as I was drawing this song came on my iPod that fit this drawing so well. I just felt really emotional and really into the process of drawing this young girl portraying one of the most amazing heroes in literature. It was one of those moments when I remembered why it was that I love doing what I do. Thought I’d share that with you :)
