I made this picture for when the topic at Art Memes was "Snow White".

I always love making fairy tale illustrations. Now technically, if I was remaining entirely true to the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White (which is my favorite), the apple's skin would be half red and half white, but I just like the visual of an all red apple better. A two-toned apple always seemed far too suspicious to me, but Snow White is a gullible girl.

The line art was inked on paper and then I painted on a series of ink washes. After that, I scanned it and all the color was added in Photoshop with my tablet.

A larger version of this can be viewed here, and prints of this are now available right here.

I drew this for when the topic at Art Memes was "mummy". I sketched it quick on paper and slapped on a bit of color in Photoshop. I usually don't draw "scary" things, so I was very amused with what I was able to come up with. It's nothing fancy because I only spent about 20 minutes on it.
