Two Strange Beings | 9x12 | pastelThis illustration was created for an SCBWI Westside Illustrators project. Each member was assigned a quote from a children's book, but we were not told which book or anything about it, so we were free to create our own story, character and environment from what we drew from one sentence. (Thanks to Joan Charles & Jane Smith for this thought provoking project!)
This was the quote I was assigned:
"One evening, while he was lying there alone... he saw two strange beings creep out of the tall bracken near him."
Would anyone care to guess what childrens book this came from?

ReplyDeleteOh boy, I'd say he's in a bit of a pickle based on those shadows!! Nicely done Cathy, he's got a great expression and I love the toe peeking out!
ReplyDeleteLove the toe peeking out. Great detail.
ReplyDeleteReally great environment and expression. I do have to admit I didnt' see the shadows until after I'd read the explaination and thought about it for a bit. I thought the sheep were the beings at first.
