Red

This is a scratchboard illustration I did, continuing the fairy tale series.. Since I am still learning about this medium, I was tickled to find how easy it was to get realistic effects for grass and animal fur. I guess some would say, "duh!" , but this is all new to me and I felt like a kid with a new toy. Making all those little marks is rather slow, but I got into the Zen rhythm of the thing, and enjoyed it. I intend to make archival quality copies of this, fix them, and hand color them, as I think a red hood is really needed to make the story more obvious. Today David is sick, and the fence guys are coming, so I don't know how much progress I can make on the one I'm working on, from the three bears. Anyway, nothing will be accomplished if I don't get going.
