Someday You'll Be Old Enough To Read Fairy Tales Again


This drawing was for my illustration class last spring, based on the C.S. Lewis quote in the title of this post. I wish that the Minneapolis public transport system was this exciting!

Meeting of the Minds

I really liked making this piece. It's fun to get lost in the details of the setting to really tell the story of the people inside the picture! I also sometimes like to make up names for the different people and animals in my illustrations. It makes it more personal somehow, as if I could get to know them someday, even just as fictional characters in a story!

People that I've shown this piece to have had their own opinions on whether they liked the ink drawing versus the colored version. I will put them both up here!
