Goldilocks and the Three Bears

by Posted on

I recent studied a course in illustration and the fairy tale ‘Goldilocks’ was presented as a possibility to illustrate.  

I have never enjoyed this tale but chose it for that reason! I depicted Goldilocks as a lovable twerp, and Mama Bear as being ‘with cub’.

Goldilocks, portrayed in a pink polka-dot skirt with charming blonde curls approaches the cottage of the three bears. The cottage is simple, an a-frame roof with rectangular doors and windows, the cottage sits among a forest of tall green trees.
A collection of tall trees in pastel hues of magenta, green, and blue frame the opening and closing pages of a manuscript.

Sample layouts demonstrate the application of the design.

A full storyline is illustrated to demonstrate the layout of the entire publication.
