"cinderella" by Stephanie S. K. Marbach

one night i watched the old czech faerie tale movie 'three nuts for cinderella' (original title: "tri orísky pro Popelku" from 1973), one of the many versions of the lovely faerie tale. i just looooove these (old) czech faerie tale movies, they are the cutest thing and just so incredibly wonderful... after every movie i burst out of feelings and feel like doing something, so that night i felt like drawing them down.

i drew the scene where cinderella (starring Libuse Safránková - she's just the loveliest actress...) is visiting her friend rosalie, the owl, which guards her little treasures, and she is looking at the hazelnuts she just got from a friend and sighs thinking about how to meet the charming prince again... when the owl makes her take a hazelnut for her wish that will help her...

ahhh i'm just so bad at drawing i feel right now, her hands are way too small and my shading is terrible... i need to learn so much (who helps me:)? ), but hopefully i'll get there one day... well this picture is again once more just about putting down my feelings, not about perfectionism, so...
