Ok, how many of you have read Alice in Wonderland? Like the whole book not just extracts. :) I must admit I haven't. At least I don't remember reading the book when I was younger.
I have the book now and I've tried to read it but I think I'm too old for it to hold any interest for me. I think that ship has sailed. :) But I do enjoy the movies of course.
That said . . . I'm missing books. Like literally. I wanted to read The girl with the dragon tattoo the other day and I can't find it. And I can't find the sequels either. And two books from the Vampire Academy series. I've found where one of the books is located for now. I lent it to a family friend but the rest just vanished.
Linking to Paint Party Friday.
The girl with the dragon tattoo ... couldn't put it down like half the rest of the world. Your Life Book class looks interesting - obviously learning good body proportions. Love 'Alice'. Hope you find your other mysteriously vanishing books .. xoDonna
ReplyDeletelove your alice illustrations. i didn't read it either i don't think. i haven't read the girl with the dragon tattoo but did see all the movies with subtitles and don't understand why they've remade them in English when the originals were so good.
ReplyDeletejust read war horse which was fab and saw the movie last night which was so disappointing-they made it really cheesy and not at all like the book reads.
Lovely "Alice" images Natasha, and your sketch is wonderful too :D XXX
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustrations! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI actually love Alice in Wonderland and it is a great book... it is a pretty good read even as an adult... love your drawings and sooo impressed you are so far along on lifebook... I am already behind!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh loving your Alice drawings Natasha... they are incredibly sweet... and your sketches from Bonnie's class are just wonderful...

Alice je divna :)
ReplyDeleteKnjiga S. Larssona bi bila izvrsna da ju je skratio za bar 100 str. ali glavni ženski lik je pravi biser :) Pogledaj i film, dobar je :)
Što se crtanja ljudske figure tiče, Jane Davenport je pronašla stvarno jednostavan način postizanja proporcija i pokazala u tečaju I heart drawing - toplo preporučujem. Ako te više zanima o tome, napišem na mail, OK?
I never liked to read books... There's something about it, I guess I just get bored, or perhaps I'm too slow...
ReplyDeleteEither way, your Alice paintings are adorable, love the middle one with the braids the most~

Your illustrations are so lovely, Natasha May. I love books. I don't think I'll ever get a Kindle because I love the feel of a book. When I've had books vanish, I later remember lending them to someone. I think the person puts it on a shelf with other books and forgets it is borrowed.
ReplyDeleteFaye
omg - we must have a cosmic connection. I have been thinking about reading Alice in Wonderland because I don't get the fascination that people have with it. I don't remember reading it as a kid either. I just finished the girl with the dragon tattoo. It is incredible but disturbing, I will send it to you if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteAs always love keeping an eye on your work!
cheers, dana
I love this book and love your paintings :) AND love the Stieg Larsonn books too!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustrations. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteLovely Alice drawings! <3
ReplyDeleteI read Alice In Wonderland to my kids, when they were small, we all loved it, it was quite new translation (to Finnish). There is some awesome insights in it... I just saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (swedish version), so good and now I have to read the book, and the whole Millenia trilogy, I think... of course most of the world allready read it. :))
I need to look at my Bonnie Rose videos--great figure sketch!!
ReplyDeleteAlice the great, and your sketches are perfect. Saludos
ReplyDeleteGreat Alices - especially love the one with the Cheshire Cat! And excellent sketch.
ReplyDeleteHope you find your books!
Great Alice! No, I have not read the whole book either...
ReplyDeleteLove your Alice illustrations. Whether you read the whole book or not, you can't help but be inspired by the characters.
ReplyDeleteHate it when my books go missing.
Love your illustrations of Alice in wonderland. Excellent job! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your books Natasha! I have to admit, I have never read Alice In Wonderland. I love the art you did ;o) Have a great weekend ;o)
ReplyDeleteI do rather love my Kindle... I'd hate to lose that. I'd have to get Alice searching for it by drinking all sorts of potions!
ReplyDeleteLovely illustrations and Alice in Wonderland is for adults as well ~ lots of psychology in the book ~namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteGreat illustrations! I loved all of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Books -- I hope you find your copy. You won't be able to put it down!
ReplyDeleteI like the sketches from class. Love seeing them side by side like that. You are doing great!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!

Nope, haven't read Alice, then I sorta went off the author because someone said he was a bit of connoisseur of underage females, but the story is cool I guess, but what is cooler are your awesome illustrations here, really love the approach - nice one Natasha May :)
ReplyDeletelove the mechanical sketch of the body shapes.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Cheshire Cat- he's wonDERful!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF (a day late;))

Jaz pa sem gledala Alice in to v dveh filmskih različicah. Ko gledam tvoje risbice, me kar popeljejo v posamezne odlomke.
ReplyDeleteDekle z zmajskim tatujem je oddana v večini knjižnic po Sloveniji. Sem jo imela sposojeno, prebrala do 200 strani, hotela podaljšati, pa nisem mogla, ker je že bila rezervirana. Smola pač. Zato pa berem en krimič, Dekle z zmajskim tatujem pa bom nadaljevala, ko se tale euforija malo poleže okrog te knjige....
