Description This drawing took over a year to finish
It is inspired by the earlier versions of the Little Red Riding Hood and the fairytale I was told when I was a child, where the forest is dark and scary, but full of animals and creatures that live there, and Red Riding Hood is a very brave girl that defeats the Big Bad Wolf all by herself (when my mum wanted to finish the story faster, Red Riding Hood gave the wolf a beating before anyone reached the grandma's house )

It is drawn with black and red Rotring ink and rapidographs (mostly 0.13 mm and 0.4 mm) on Canson textured, acid-free paper of 250g/m2, 30 x 40 cm (=11.8 x 15.7 inches).

The original drawing and printable file for download available on Etsy: AdalheidisAMJ.Etsy.com

Świetne. Rysunek doskonale pokazuje bezbronność kapturka, gdyż nawet gdyby przejrzała wilka, to pewnie i tak by ją zjadł czy jeszcze gorzej , oraz że wilk nie jest jedynym i stworzeniem czy nieznajomym, od którego można spodziewać się złych zamiarów

thank you very much!
my dad suggested I should've made the wolf's (or as he called it - the bear's) eyes yellow... oh well :d

Fantastic picture. I adore all the little animals. And the looming wolf behind.

It was supposed to be a wolf, but once i heard "it looks like a bear" i can't stop seeing the bear...

It's really a "monstrous wolf". Werewolves and similar tend to end up looking a bit like bears because of the fuller face.

I love this! The composition is very striking. And I love the idea of Red Riding Hood as a brave hero.
