Homework #11

Create an illustration for the story of Beauty and the Beast. Research and design your characters and locations to fit the country/era in which you decide to set the story.

Your style must be 100% literal/realistic.

Illustrate the passage below using the 2 point perspective mirror construction you learned in class. We should see both Beauty and her environment reflected accurately in the mirror. Beauty - shown from head to toe - and at least three other items must be seen repeated in the mirror. Don't forget: this illustration must show as much accurate reflection of objects as possible and will be graded accordingly.

Your line drawing should be 9" x 12" or larger at the same proportion. Keep it neat, clean and accurate. A single line should indicate edges; straight edges should be straight and organic shapes clear and effective. Ensure that this drawing is as professional and precise as you are capable of producing. Add no value at this time.

When her father had ridden out of sight, Beauty went to her room, she found it more charming than any she had ever seen. On one wall hung a full-length mirror and beneath it, in letters of gold, was written:

“Little Beauty, dry your eyes,
Needless are those tears and sighs;
Gazing in this looking-glass,
What you wish shall come to pass.”

These lines comforted Beauty, for she thought that if she were very unhappy she could wish herself at home again.
