Folktale Week Day 7 - Dance
“Meanwhile, nearby, slippers made of iron were heated over to the wicked queen with tongs, and placed at her feet. Then she was made to walk in those red hot shoes, and to dance in them. And she did so until she fell to the ground, dead.”
The original ending to Snow White is rather gruesome with the Evil Queen being forced to dance in red hot iron shoes to pay for her wickedness.  From Folktale Week 2020

“The jolt jostled the piece of poisoned apple loose from Snow White’s throat. Not long after, she opened her eyes, lifter the coffin lid, and sat up, alive again”

“Snow White craved the perfect looking apple, and as she watched the farmer’s wife taste it, she could no longer resist. She held out her hand and took the poisoned half.”
Continuing with my Snow White themed Folktale Week, this was for the prompt 'Death'

“She withdrew and shut herself inside a secret, hidden room, where she made a very, very poisonous apple” The prompt for this Folktale Week day was 'Solstice'. I couldn’t really think of what to draw for solstice so I decided to have the wicked queen create her apple during a solstice so I could fit it into my theme.

“And so she stayed on with them and kept their home in order. In the mornings they left for the mountains in search of ore and gold, and when they returned in the evenings their supper had to be ready"
From Folktale Week 2020, the prompt was 'Harvest'

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
The Evil Queen’s ritual of asking her magic mirror who is the fairest in the land. This is another piece from Folktale Week in 2020, the prompt was 'ritual'.

“If only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as dark as the wood of the window frame” This is from folktale week in 2020. I decided to focus on one story for the week and chose Snow White, one of my favourites. The first prompt was 'Birth' and I illustrated Snow White's birth mother at the beginning of the story.

Folktale Week Day 5 - Costume
I chose to illustrate ‘Donkeyskin’ by Charles Perrault, a dark story which has some similarities to various Cinderella stories. There’s a famous French film based on the story which I have not seen yet but will definitely have to at some point!
I forgot to finish uploading all my illustrations for last years folktale week so I'm doing it now.

Here's all the mermaids that I drew and painted last month for mermay. They're all based on Ariel and her sisters from the new live action 'The Little Mermaid' by Disney. I absolutely loved the new live action film, I can't wait to see it again and these characters were a lot of fun to draw.

Indira. This was a fun one to paint, mainly because of the colours and pattern, the watercolours worked really well for that.

Karina. 
One of the seven daughters of Triton from The Little Mermaid live action. Like Tamika, I couldn’t quite get her tail right due to lack of reference photos.
