We're kicking off Book Month here on The Sketchables by going all out-a full color post for each of us! Be sure to check back each day this week to see our book-inspired pieces!
My piece is inspired by one of my favorite Dahl books,
James and the Giant Peach. (
Sorry for the poor image quality, it won't fit on my scanner) It was actually a toss-up between this and The Witches, but there's no way I could interpret The Witches without being influence by Quentin Blake's fabulous illustrations.
It's been some time since I've read JGP, and since I couldn't find my copy anywhere to reference a scene, I decided to show James and the insects enjoying another classic book:
Charlotte's Web as their peach glides through the sky.
*update: Here's a closer look. I scanned it even though it was chopped up.
