Artist's Comments
Here is my drawing final, an illustration from the book "The BFG" by Roald Dahl (The Big Friendly Giant),
This was done in pencil then pastel. I tried the best that I could to photograph it in good lighting and fix the exposure and brightness on the computer but it still doesn't quite look right. Ah well. I think I will do a digitally colored/edited version of it as well. I will also put up the wips of this. I took tons of pictures. *synopsis of book, tried to give as little away as possible: a wonderful story about a giant who brings good dreams to children and kidnaps a girl who sees him doing it for fear the world will find out. She is lucky however, because she discovers he is the only nice giant in giant country. All the others go out nightly to EAT children. Sophie (the girl) and the BFG must find a way to stop the Manhugger, Childchewer, Meatdripper, Bloodbottler, Maidmasher etc, from eating more innocent children! original wonderful cute illustrated cover by Quentin Blake which inspired me along with the book itself [link] trivia: Sophie was based off of Roald Dahl's own grandaughter who became: [link] |

 reports, 1d 12h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

working bigger definitely helps, also having a tissue on hand to sweep some of the extra pigment away and blend is good too.
