One of the drawing suggestions I was given was Rapunzel. However, I did not want to draw one of the more well known versions of Rapunzel (Tangled or Barbie Rapunzel). Some of my favorite versions of Rapunzel are "Petrosinella" (the Italian version) and Shanon Hale's Rapunzel's Revenge which is set in a fairy tale wild west.
I remember getting the book from the library when I was young, reading it, and seeing possibilities. While I did not generally like modern retellings (and still do not), Rapunzel's Revenge as a story taught me there could be flexibility and imagination in re-imaginings.

What is your favorite version of Rapunzel? And who should I draw next?

I'm not familiar with the Wild West version of Rapunzel. It sounds very intriguing! And I like your drawing of Rapunzel with her braids and western cowgirl attire!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! What a wonderful twist on the suggestion. You've created such a strong piece of art.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with these versions of the story (not even the Italian one!), but I looked them up, and they sound interesting. The Wild West Rapunzel drawing is fun!
ReplyDeleteShanon Hale’s Wild West version remains an absolute masterpiece, watching you bring those little braids to life with your unique style is thrilling. For your next drawing project, tackling Little Red Riding Hood with a dark forest twist feels like a brilliant challenge
