Children's stories


Drawing day! , originally uploaded by deepwarren.

Yesterday was International drawing day, and I managed a few scribbles at the pub. About to start a children's book illustration 8 week course, and I have till next wednesday to find an out-of-copyright children's story to use.

Suggestions so far:

  • Brother's Grimm (i've always had a thing for the one about the seven swans, but i'm not two good at drawing birds)
  • The hunchback horse (Russian, apparently english versions of it have been translated into 'The magic pony')
  • The Velveteen Rabbit - not sure this is actually out-of-copyright as i thought velveteen was a new-ish fabric
  • Oscar Wilde's - The happy prince, another of his children tales.


If you have any suggestions let know (or email me yr children's story and I'll try to illustrate it!)
