Over on the Classical Art forum of Wetcanvas.com, we are looking at the children’s illustrator Jesse Wilcox Smith – 1863-1935. I love her illustration of Little Red Riding Hood so for this week’s Sunday Sketches challenge, I did my own version of Little Red. This is about 5.5″ x 8″, watercolor pencil, in my sketchbook. You can click the image to see it larger.

oh this is gorgeous. so sweetly done…great job on the cape and the wolf’s expression. another one of my favorite stories…xo
Wow! This is super good! xoxo
I love the expression on the wolf and Red. He looks like he’s counting the chickens before they’ve hatched and she looks like she’s been taken by surprise. Great job!
Fairy tales are a penchant around here and this rendition is fabulous!

OK! WOW! Can I just say that looks like a vintage postcard. Amazing and fabulous work. What a great hand you have with the watercolor pencils.
You did a really wonderful job on this with lots of great details.
This is really wonderful, love the wolf – he looks so cunning and vicious; red is so sweet and innocent. It’s perfect.
