I created this piece for a commission for an upcoming IA/MN SCBWI middle grade and young adult (MG/YA) workshop titled, “Something Old”. I am obsessed with mysteries and murder mysteries. My streaming video feed is almost all mysteries. But I also like history. And you know what’s really old and very cool? Egyptian art and artifacts: hieroglyphs, Egyptian canopic jars, towering statues, and other tomb treasures.
Now I’ve moved my sketch into Photoshop to work on the perspective. Since Cinderella is on the floor it is important to get the vanishing points at the right angle and worm-eye-view. I drew in the ceiling (which will be cropped) to help me see if my lines are working.
