Description ~Garcia-Siemssen posted a Rapidograph dipicting Little Red Riding Hood [link] . I loved it...dark...vulnerable girl in the woods...perfect.

So here I am, thinking of this picture...on my way to work...drinking coffee...doing chores around the house...constantly thinking about that scene. So, with all this reflection going on - I was thinking about things like - what was going on in Little Red Riding Hood's head...her feelings...was she scared...angry...who knows.

So here is my version - I was going for scared and ended up with pissed...I think she looks angry and might do something about it...

Thanks for the inspiration Garcia!

Sweet job. I like her look, like its time for some payback. I was getting tired of the defensless version of her.
Great job man.

I had just been pondering how to do the mid-tones in the piece I'm working on and you provided an option, thank you.

This is really interesting. I like the perspective.

I looked at this more closely - I'm impressed with how you handled the mid-tones around the eyes and nose. It still never ceases to amaze me how a series of abstract cuts and slashes combine together to make something look realistic....

Thanks alot - its just the way I see things I guess - I would have liked to to a better job of blending the white of her cheeks with the shadows - but its still a work in progress so we'll see. (no pun intended)
