This illustration is one of my personal favorites, and the story it's based upon is one of my favorites as well. The story is here: http://themoonlitroad.com/the-white-dress/

And I'd highly recommend reading it. It's short, sweet, and awesome.



I also had a version of this drawing where I included the lines and details of her dress.



But in the end, I just thought it looked better with the white. I also included a picture I took of the finished book, open to the page with this illustration on it.




In other news, I wanted to give you guys my E-mail in case anyone wanted to contact me. You can E-mail me at either madisonhenline@gmail.com or FeatheredIce@aol.com. I'll have some more posts up later, when I'm not job searching. Thanks for reading! :D

Promotional Poster

Welcome, all! I thought I'd go ahead and start posting images from a project I'm working on. For a few weeks I've been illustrating southern folk tales and I'll be compiling the images and stories into a book. Above is a poster I did for the project.

I'd also like to add that all credit for the stories I'm illustrating goes to http://themoonlitroad.com/. That's where I've been getting all these great stories! With each post, I'll definitely be giving them credit and letting you know who's responsible for what story. The Bleeding Heart Dove in particular was adapted from folklore by wonderful Sherry Norfolk. The story can be found here: http://themoonlitroad.com/the-bleeding-heart-dove/

I'll keep you posted!
