Illustration Friday | Mesmerizing

Poor Little Red Riding Hood -- she doesn't stand a chance!  I've always been mesmerized by wolves.  When I was little I wanted to be a wolf biologist (I lost count of how many times I read "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat!)

This coming Saturday I'm participating in SCBWI-EPA's Illustrator Day.  Our assignment is to illustrate two spreads of Little Red Riding Hood.  Here's a sneak peek!

Coitada da Chapeuzinho Vermelho -- ela está perdida!  Eu sempre fui fascinada por lobos.  Quando eu era pequena, queria estudar lobos (já perdi a conta de quantas vezes eu li "Os Lobos" de Farley Mowat!)


No próximo sábado vou participar do Dia do Illustrador, uma oficina organizada pela SCBWI-EPA.  O dever de casa era ilustrar duas páginas de "O Chapeuzinho Vermelho."  Aqui vai uma prévia!

    Great illustration. She looks like such a naive and innocent girl. You have captured her well.

    Wonderful. Of course to me the wolf is the good guy in the story. He's listening to Red like my dogs listen to me, they always have the best advice.
