Falling Princess: Giselle

Falling Princess: Giselle (Sketch) // 06.28.09

*Update*

"Is this a habit of yours, falling off stuff?"

I couldn't resist. I really did like Giselle from Enchanted. I think we would get along really well, especially if all of her animal friends helped me do my chores.

Speaking of which, in this picture there was supposed to be a bird, but I omitted it. It just wasn't coming out right, and I didn't just want to do a side profile of a bird. I might add it later, but none of the other girls got to bring their animal friends to the shoot, so she's just gonna have to work it.

BTW, and this is obvious, but the dress is heavily Alphonse Mucha
inspired (Except for the way too hight slit...that was all me) since the movie itself just screams Art Nouveau. It was like the marriage of all of my favorite things!

P.S. This one is dedicated to my Mollee, my offical Disney Princess Partner in Crime (or DPPC for short.)

I wish I had a better excuse as to why this isn't done, but really there isn't one...

except that I saw WALL*E and it was amazing. It did take up some time though. I had to rework the sketch of Giselle which also took some time. I thought I had liked the pose I had her in, but this one looks like more of a her pose. Plus, if this was an actual photoshoot, the art director would be concerned about showing the dress, and this one actually does show it. A very small detail, I know, but what are you gonna do?

I actually like the line drawings I've been doing in order to prep these pictures. They're done in Photoshop and then brought into Illustrator. I usually just go with what works, either paper or completely digital. Since I am trying to make each girl look like herself, I've been spending more time with the sketch part which helps me to get likeness down faster. I'm done rambling and I'm going to go to bed so I can finish this tomorrow. Goodnight!
