Sketch - 6/23/12

Just a sketch inspired by both this: and this:

I already had the idea for the Cinderella piece and as I was scrolling through the DDs for today I was struck with how the were such similar concepts. And because I loved the DD, I had to do a quick sketch incorporating more of the emotions behind the Cinderella piece.

Copy and paste of what I mean:

I have this idea for a novel really where Cinderella didn't want to marry the prince. She was at the ball for vastly different reasons and got caught up in the whole marriage escapade.

Now it's her wedding day, the day that is supposed to be her "happily ever after" and she feels trapped. It's the moment right before she needs to walk down the aisle and she can't help but be struck with how beautiful it is outside. She steps towards the glass and reaches out her hand, wishing she could be a bird and take flight. A tear escapes, but she knows that she really doesn't have a choice in the matter. Now she is determined to see things through, even if her heart is torn to pieces.
