more from my sketch book

just two little sketches that i used in the grimm cover. One's the frog prince and the other is the poison apple from snow white.

a medieval bestiary

I posted my sketch of the Wolpertinger earlier and have now done a few more. I'm going on to make them in to linocuts, a technique similar to the woodcutting these original bestiaries would have used. First time with a new techniques, so it's pretty exciting learning new things!

Enfield

Leucrota

Peryton
