Illustration Fri. - 'subterranean'


A quick post to share this sketch with y'all. I actually revisited an older sketch of mine as I thought it was perfect for IF's prompt word this week: 'subterranean'. After seeing the premiere of Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' last weekend, I was totally inspired to go back in and rework an 'Alice' sketch of mine that I created about 6 months ago.

Poor Alice, she definitely found herself in a place that was subterranean- or 'underland' as they call it in the new movie - one filled with surprises, personal discovery and triumph. I could elaborate but of course I won't as I don't want to spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it yet :)

Anyhow, I'm still not sure which medium I want to finish this piece in, but I do have lots of ideas for accompanying pieces/designs based on my interpretation of this and other classic storybooks. Art licensing is something I've wanted to get into for awhile now so I've been doing a bit of research on how to begin [any tips, personal experience or suggestions are greatly appreciated!]

Wishing you a fabulous weekend, be well...

wonderful start! I can't wait to see what technique you choose to finish it.

Finding licensing companies is a tough go. They tend to want to buy things in series. Good luck with the search ;)
