I get excited about these Inktober drawings!
Some days I don't plan my time really well
and end up rushing a drawing to keep on course,
but most days I purpose time for them,
which makes it enjoyable.
Some times I get so excited that, before I go to bed,
I take a peek at the prompt for the next day.
It gives me a bit of time to think about
how I might depict or interpret the prompt.
I looked last night and saw:
11. Cruel
What??
I'm the girl who draws mice and bunnies!
I draw white picket fences around their imaginary homes...
They are happy; there is no upset, no one gets angry...
And it's certain that no one is cruel!
What am I gonna draw?
My mind went first to the Evil Queen from Snow White,
but then I remembered Cruella de Vil
I based my illustration on the description made by the author,
Dodie Smith, from her 1956 book "The Hundred and One Dalmations"
~ She was a glamorous London heiress.
~ In her younger years at school, she wore only
black dresses trimmed with white. She wore her
hair in black and white braids (plaits), and she
was expelled for drinking a bottle of ink.
~ She married a furrier (knowing the character you can
see how this was a marriage of convenience!). She
belittled him and made him take her last name.
They had no children.
~ Her husband gifted her a white mink coat,
which she wore even on the hottest days.
~ She was known for wearing skintight satin dresses
with ropes of jewels in contrasting colours.
(Black satin with pearls or green satin with rubies)
~ And she had a white Persian cat which she abused...
Yeah, this character will fit the bill for today's prompt!
