This project was based on my Reimagining Narrative Project in my second year where I created a short gender-reversed animation based on the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast.

 

I wanted to further explore the gender-expectations within traditional fairy tale morels and contextualise them with moral’s that are relevant towards the general public, that will be relevant today.  

 

After I finished the pencil lines I inked over the pencil lines using a pen nib and Indian ink for the line art and cross hatching. After the main bulk of inking was finished I painted each frame, using gold and silver ink in reference to Chris Riddell's work, in which he only uses one /two colours for his interior illustrations.
