What do you like about the two artists and their works



For the first trying I decided to re-create the tooth fairy in a more Burtonesque way. I took inspiration from the bigeyes that Tim Burton typically adds to his characters looking at the corpse bride I noticed her eyebrows and have always liked them. So I added them to my tooth fairy. Although this is not traditional Burtonesque, A lot of the elements included in the drawing take from his artwork. In the next drawing I decided to make the Easter bunny in a Lori Mitchell art form. Drawing on her large torso skinny leg idea I decided to create this childhood character to be whimsical and also unique and interesting. I wanted to include the big eyes in the easter bunny art as well. the tired or overworked look is so key in this and I feel as though I resonate with that in my daily life, I am working 8-5 every day and I am very tired and feel like sometimes I look as though I am Overworked and tired.

I truly enjoyed this piece of artwork and have shown it to my loved ones. Some love this and some are creeped out but I think it shows my style and who and what I like to watch and see.
