I love how happy they look, like they're just out having fun picking strawberries! <br /><br />Now you have to draw what it looks like from the inside of the cottage!

These are not mean giants, it just so happens that they take houses that don't belong to them, like a dog who picks up an old pizza crust off the street - they can't help themselves, it's who they are. :)Larry MacDougallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017987999024372121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681459331997952781.post-26013697087412366492013-10-30T08:57:15.008-07:002013-10-30T08:57:15.008-07:00Thanks Jim, I appreciate you stopping by.Thanks Jim, I appreciate you stopping by.Larry MacDougallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017987999024372121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681459331997952781.post-91675728934830565842013-10-30T08:56:31.639-07:002013-10-30T08:56:31.639-07:00Sam - I think that is what he's thinking, and ...Sam - I think that is what he's thinking, and thanks. :)Larry MacDougallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017987999024372121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681459331997952781.post-41043429857932278412013-10-30T05:52:55.610-07:002013-10-30T05:52:55.610-07:00That sounds like a very timely story Larry.

I would love to see where they take all the houses they collect.<br /><br />This seems like a pretty genial lot once you get over the fact they have stolen your house.Christina Waldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806739687845098075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681459331997952781.post-29280236384035791552013-10-30T05:39:16.143-07:002013-10-30T05:39:16.143-07:00These sketches are wonderful, Larry.

It's great to see the little variations in form, posture and expression you're thinking about as you seek the character and pose to use in your painting. I thin my personal favorite is the big, hairy giant on the left of the 4th page but honestly, I like all of them.Jim Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09129940712734632505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681459331997952781.post-13934483827390556272013-10-30T05:36:44.022-07:002013-10-30T05:36:44.022-07:00I like the guy on the left in the last set of sket...I like the guy on the left in the last set of sketches.
