Illustrations of Alice

I have always been a fan of Lewis Carroll (more of his poems than his stories, but that's a whole other post). I even went as far as to adopt the pseudonym of "The Mad Hatter" for various circumstances. (Like my instagram Hatter_Halftone. It's not that exciting of an instagram, so it's not the focus of this post.)
The focus IS, however, Alice in Wonderland. These are a few pictures of an illustration I did for a friend. I tried to make them as true to the time period as I could, while still adding my own style into the mix.
This is where I was originally going to stop. I really enjoy things that are grey scale, and thought that it made this illustration that much better. But as it was not my project, I needed to get their opinion on it first. And of course, they wanted it to be colored. Thankfully, it still looks pretty good.

  1. I like the color version and she looks a little scary to me, not so childlike-innocent.
