Description The black+white (well, green) tonal layout for a digital illustration of a poem by Ogden Nash.

Isabel met an enormous bear,
Isabel, Isabel, didn't care.
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
The bear's mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hands and straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.

Once in a night as black as pitch
Isabel met a wicked old witch.
The witch's face was cross and wrinkled,
The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled.
Ho ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed,
I'll turn you into an ugly old toad!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She showed no rage and she showed no rancor,
But she turned the witch into milk and drank her.

Isabel met a hideous giant,
Isabel continued self-reliant.
The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,
He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.
Good morning Isabel, the giant said,
I'll grind your bones to make my bread.
Isabel, Isabel didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She nibbled the zwieback that she always fed off,
And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off.

I totally agree with *spalose on the Witch's teeth thing, and I <3 the poem to my shallow grave. As odd as this must sound from a 14 year old, Isabel is EXACTLY how I hope my child to be! I also read the poem to my niece, who found it delightful, as did I.

Wait, I see, it's the bear's other hand. Maybe throw that on another layer and fully render it out in a darker shade, then scale down the opacity? I kinda like it how it is, but it's a bit "Photoshop-brush"y

oh, it's not done yet. I just left that to remind myself I had to block in the bear's paw

Oh man, I'm digging this. However, I think it could benefit from a really gross grin by the witch, considering she's mentioned as having quite a toothy mouth.

The bear, although his mouth isn't open to show how cavernous it is, still shows it's very large, so that's pretty nice. Plus I like the style of his grin.

She definitely looks like she doesn't care about NO shit, so thumbs up.

Is that thing in the right bottom foreground unfinished or just a stylized squiggle?
