the piebald crow.

listening to: Talking Heads and then Daft Punk.
A good cutout, a failed cutout. also, drawing for some sort of Hansel und Gretel (must be 'und').
the good. eyes are either closed or open. they were meant open, but work closed.
the failed. her mouth got lost. this was unplanned, and only about 1 1/4 inch.
and Hansel und Gretel. In the original story (i must read it again), hansel and gretel's mother tells the father to abandon them in the woods because the family is doing terrible financially. and they keep finding their way back, until they dont. arm isnt good, but they look desperate. it's in pen, so i couldn't erase when the arm was too low, so it looks like her pecs are huge. but they aren't. pointy head <3.
basically:
Gretel: Hansel... it's a house.. made of candy!
Hansel: OMNOMNOMNOM

  1. I really like the first cutout, and I just realized how horrible the story of Hansel and Gretel is. D:

  2. grimm stories are terrible, but that's what made them real to their time.

    little red gets 'eaten' by the wolf.
    rapunzel's prince is found out when she asks the witch why her stomach is growing. the witch is like, what man has been up here?
    snow white's mother asks the huntsman to bring back the girls heart.

    its so interesting.

  3. Yeah, I agree, so interesting. I think it's also interesting how we hear these stories as kids, but we don't really think about them until we are older.

  4. yeah. originally, i started watching disney classics to find things that i wouldn't notice as a kid. Robin and Little John crossdressing was the scariest thing.

  5. I really love the mood and expressions in this Hansel und Gretel drawing. It feels like a key panel in a storyboard.
    Are they at the doorstep as the door opens?

  6. perhaps. dunno. i always thought that the witch opens the door, as their chewing on stuff and like really happy.

    i don't remember which sibling is older.
