Artist's Comments

So, didn't have a tablet at college...instead, experimented with gouache. This is the first attempt. Polly, from Fire & Hemlock. Coming up is Sorry and Laura from The Changeover.

Oooo, just as I was thinking of re-re-reading it too! Lovely! Not only are the colors rich and gorgeous, but the composition as a whole is really nicely balanced. Awesome!

Ooh, yay, more books!


Pretty colours, too. I love the hair, although I can't comment artistically.

Mmm. :heart: Absolutely teeming with the kind of atmosphere I remember from the book. The background is great and the lighting is just glorious!

I don't think I'll ever tire of your gorgeous art. :heart:

Wow, that's beautiful. I love the background. I think that expression works quite well for Polly too.
:iconalidaart:
Thank you! I wasn't all that thrilled with her face but I'm glad you like anyways :)

Oh... can't believe I didn't see this before! Particularly since Fire and Hemlock is one of my favorite Diana Wynne Jones books, ever.

This is beautiful. Your style is so perfect for DWJ's books. Polly's expression is the best part, for me. And, wow. Your coloring skills are AMAZING. :0

99.9% of the world's teenagers would die if Abercrombie&Fitch said it was uncool to breathe. Put this in your signature if you'd be one of the incredibly minuscule percent who'd look up from 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and say, 'What?'
:iconalidaart:
Why thank you. I'm glad you feel that I've done justice to the awesome that is DWJ :)
