Hansel & Gretel: Scratchboard Series
This well-known fairy tale marked my childhood and is one of my all time personal favorites. I chose to visually tell the story by illustrating three of the most iconic scenes. The three scenes I chose are the one where the parents decide to abandon Hansel and Gretel, the one where the children are lost in the forest even after leaving a trail of bread crumbs behind, and finally the one where Gretel satisfyingly pushes the witch in the oven. The scratchboard technique gives us powerfully contrasting results which are quite expressive and touching.
