Our final project for Illustration 2 is to create a narrative of a myth or legend. I chose the aforementioned Russian fairytale, and decided to make work for a mock-animation project, complete with storyboard, colored key sequences, character studies and environment work. This post will get bigger as time progresses, but for now please enjoy some character sketches.
First up: Young Prince Ivan
Ivan's Father, the Tsar
Various Firebird Designs
The Wolf
Tree Patterns
(I'd like, for the most part, for backgrounds to be flat. Scenes such as the Wolf's forest, and the beginning of Ivan's journey are to look almost like a setting in a play.)
Unfamiliar with the myth? Please check out
this page, which sums it up very nicely!

Oooh! That was one of my fave stories! I always asked my mum to read it for me when I was 5. Such memories ;_;
I'm loving the wolf and the king's designs; you're making them justice. I imagine Ivan like a young man, though, but it's nice to see another take on the story.
Thanks, Constanza!
Yes, I took some liberties with Ivan's age. I thought about approaching it the classic way, but for whatever reason, drawing him as a kid seems to have stuck with me. It will hopefully give the story a more light-hearted spin :)
have u thought about a design for the princess by any chance?
