Before I got started on making any designs, I wanted to see what already existed out there for Roald Dahl's Matilda. It's a famous book, movie and film now, so I wanted to look at it's other representations.
Miss Trunchbull is represented the same in both film and book, very masculine with a small topnot bun. If I do decide to illustrate her, I most likely won't stray from that.
In comparison, Matilda looks different film to book, in the book she is described as having wild brown hair, whereas in the film it is very neat and ordinary. She is also described in the book as being taller whereas in the film she is average looking.
Researching into character descriptions will give me a better sense of what to illustrate when it comes to Matilda. It's one of my favourite books so that's why I've decided to start with it. Other possible ones at this point that I might illustrate are Fantastic Mr Fox, The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
