Bunny

This Bunny is kind of like winnie the pooh, she's the child's best (and perhaps only) friend.

Celie- The Colour Purple

This is Celie, an abused wife and daughter from the book, 'The Colour Purple' by Alice Walker.

'As a young girl, Celie is constantly subjected to abuse and told she is ugly. She decides therefore that she can best ensure her survival by making herself silent and invisible. Celie’s letters to God are her only outlet and means of self-expression. To Celie, God is a distant figure, who she doubts cares about her concerns.

Celie does little to fight back against her stepfather, Alphonso. Later in life, when her husband, Mr. ______, abuses her, she reacts in a similarly passive manner. However, Celie latches on to Shug Avery, a beautiful and seemingly empowered woman, as a role model. After Shug moves into Celie and Mr. ______’s home, Celie has the opportunity to befriend the woman whom she loves and to learn, at last, how to fight back.'

I am reading the colour purple at the moment so I expect I will be posting more pictures of Celie.

Well, here we go.
This is a blog for my illustrations.
I am starting with simple drawings, using books as stimuli.
Enjoy! x
