I've been sketching the idea of the grand high witch out, as I said in my last post, It makes the most sense for me to focus on her because then the piece can be my "one illustrated villain", although there's only a minimum of 2 Illustrations I would like to submit 3 at this point (depending on how happy I am with them). I really loved the middle sketch on this one because I think it captures what I want her to show, glamourous but very clearly devious.
I wanted to give her sharp angular features because this represents her vicious nature, I can't make her as scary as I might do because this brief is aimed towards 8-13 year olds.
As I did with 11 second club, I drew her face a lot of times because I wanted to be able to replicate it easily if I decided to do more spot illustrations.
After getting the general feel for how she'd look - cat eye make up, pointy nose, dark lipstick. I then progressed to thinking about composition, in the scene where the little boy discovers she is infact a witch, she is holding a meeting with all of the witches in England. I liked the idea of illustrating this because I can show variety in the witches but also similarities (such as square feet and wig wearing!)
