Literature...

At times as I'm reading a book, I get the urge to draw the characters as they're described in the book. Here are a few. I'm also including some artwork I did in high school assignments in this section.

The Bear
by William Faulkner

This was an assignment in my English class my junior year of high school.

The camp The boy (age 10) missing a deer The boy (age 10) on a mule A scratched log with a footprint nearby (which means that the bear has been there) The boy (age 11) sees the bear in the forest A doe and fawn escaping the boy The boy (age 14) confronts the bear The boy (age 14) in his father's office after the confrontation with the bear

Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (The Phantom of the Opera)
by Gaston Leroux

Erik (a.k.a. The Phantom)

Macbeth
by William Shakespeare

I drew this when we were studying "Macbeth" in high school. The color drawing was part of an assignment to design a program as if we were performing the play. I think a little explanation is in order for this one...and I'm referring to the full version (click on the thumbnail). The King in the foreground is, obviously, Macbeth. Off to the left, you can see the three witches gathered around their cauldron. In the background is Dunsinane Forest, and on the right of the picture you can see a lake in the forest. The two stick figures next to it are Banquo and his son. A bit to the left and up slightly, you can see the assassins on their way to the lake.

Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
by Victor Hugo

Quasimodo Archbishop Claude Frollo Phoebus de Châteaupers (the head archer) Pierre Gringoire (a poet, Esmeralda's husband) Clopin Trouillefou (the King of the Gypsies) Jehan Frollo (Claude Frollo's younger, rather obnoxious brother) Fleur de Lys de Gondelaurier (Phoebus' fiancée)
