Candy Froggie's Lair

I'm working right now on an illustration of Perrault's Bluebeard.
I find it kinda hard to create illustration for kids because I found the topic of the wives in the wardrobe with their cut thoat kinda original! lol... I mean I could see there something different to paint. Pretty gloomy, I reckon.

Anyway, I had to get rid of my first idea to focus on a more pleasant presentation. It's a very interesting process.

By the way, BlueBeard is really really scary for kids me thinks!
