Little Red Riding Hood
Scope
✦ Book Cover Design & Illustration
Fictional book cover inspired by the illustration of Little Red Riding Hood by Jessie Willcox Smith, 1911.
The Original
Jessie Willcox Smith (1863-1935) was an American illustrator during the Golden Age of American illustration.
She became known for her tender, expressive portrayals of children and domestic life and was one of the few women of her time to achieve widespread success in commercial illustration.
The Process
“To her, a kiss, for him… a taste”
I liked the idea of making the wolf almost as sweet as a dog, but looking to the front, and with a lot of black ink to let the audience know he’s up to no good.
