The Princess and the Pea

So, The Princess and the Pea is one of my favorite fairy tales, and I was wondering why it hadn't been made into a movie. Then I read the original by Hans Christian Andersen, and I realized that not only is it super short, it has no villain. However, as I thought about how much I would love it if it somehow became a movie, I realized that the princess must have a back story, which would draw the story out and make it more exciting. So I started drawing the peasant girl from my last post with the Princess and the Pea in mind, but I didn't have a logical way to make the peasant girl become a princess--at least, not with fairy tale logic. So I began to draw a more princess-y character, using early concept art by Mary BlairHere's a sketch of the princess:

Yet another post of random math class drawings...

Laurey, from Oklahoma!. I liked seeing Laurey in overalls in one production of the musical, and I originally planned on drawing her in overalls, but they became too complicated without a reference. Not many people wearing overalls in my math class.

I originally imagined this girl as the princess from the Princess and the Pea, but I thought more about the story and came up with another girl, who will probably be in my next post.

Just a cowboy. He looks like a bad guy to me.

And this is Curly, also from Oklahoma!. 

A girl.

I read and loved the Hindu story Savitri and Satyavan, and I thought it would make a great Disney movie. So here's one of my sketches of Savitri.
