My story book is going to be about a young boy who was going to do what most knights couldn’t do in his kingdom, be a hero and save the princess. Every knight that had come and gone to save the princess in the tower they had failed and never tried to save her a second time. But this hero, even though he had failed numerous of times, he kept on going, trying to defeat the monsters and save the lovely princess. Even though he kept trying and failing he continues on until he could save the princess in the lonely and dangerous tower.

Update: How i’m going to do this is drawing out the characters and then inking them and then coloring it in with either color pencils or scanning and then editing on photoshop.

Original.

The Birth of Venus (La Naissance de Vénus) is one of the most famous paintings by 19th-century painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. It depicts not the actual birth of Venus from the sea, but her transportation in a shell, as a fully mature woman, from the sea to Paphos in Cyprus. For Bouguereau, it is considered a tour de force. The canvas stands at just over 9 ft 10 in (3.00 m) high, and 7 ft 2 in (2.18 m) wide. The subject matter, as well as the composition, resembles the rather more famous rendition of this subject, Sandro Botticelli‘s The Birth of Venus, as well as Raphael‘s The Triumph of Galatea.

My Version.

This my version. I wanted to contrast the idea of what “beauty” is, and how it was perceived before, when the original was made,  and how it is now. I have the idea that the media…

When looking back on my childhood memories and the books that were red to me, the first one that popped into my mind was Harold and the Purple Crayon.  This was my all time favorite and the one I would repeatedly request to hear.  Funny thing is, I told my father about this project and he immediately asked me ,”Do you remember that book with the boy and his crayon”.  That book must have struck home for the both of us.  It made me think that though the book had simple drawings and very few words, it wasn’t necessarily the book but the time it allowed us to share together that we subconsciously connect with book.

The book is just about a young boy who dreams big and has the power to create an alternate world around him, simply with his purple crayon.
