Artist's Comments

Well, I finally got around to finishing the coloring on my Beauty and the Beast picture. As I've mentioned on here before, Beauty and the Beast happens to be a particular favorite fairy tale of mine, and I've read countless different versions. For some time now I've had the desire to do my own series of illustrations based on the original fairy tale, and it's a project which I find myself wandering back to in between working on other things.

This was drawn on an 11"x14" surface on watercolor paper using ink pens and ink washes, and then I did all of the coloring in Photoshop with my wacom tablet. Full view is strongly recommended!

Here's a close up view of one of the more detailed areas in the picture.

The uncolored version of this can be viewed right here.

From October of 2007

Prints are now available!

That is the thing about dA. You see work that looks as if it has leaped off the page of a published storybook. And yet it isn't
This ought to be used in a book of fairytales. It is really lovely and evocative of an image you'd see in a child's cherished book.

I love the expression on her face and the parallel with her and the rose...this picture tells such a story by itself. I would love to see you do other illustrations for that story or other faerie tales!

Ahh, the colors are so rich! This fairy tale is one of my favorites, too, and I love to see it illustrated in a non-Disney way. Though I love Disney's version, as well, I like seeing the originality of your character designs!
