Description
A personal illustration of what the first chapter of the story of Alice in Wonderland brings to mind. The first chapter title is Down the Rabbit Hole, so hence my picture's title.

Original, huh?

Oh, and no Disney references allowed.

This is a mixed-media work.

I drew and colored the rabbit via my own Wacom Intuos 4 tablet, and school's Wacom Cintiq tablet; this includes his pocket-watch (in paw) and waist jacket.

The hole was a mixture of a black oval, colors, with brushes (about twenty-five separate layers combined) and smudging.

I took stock for the jar (drink me!) and the box (eat me!) and the golden key that opens the world of Wonderland for Alice - which she inadvertently left on the table, after taking the potion to shrink down to a size to be able to go through the door.

This was fun, though I do wonder what was going through Lewis Carrol's head when he was writing the story. Was it just him, or was it him on drugs? I know the latter is probably just a vicious rumor... I shouldn't propagate it, especially if it's not true.

Either way, it is a classic, I should finish the book - have it in my library, and am planning on getting to it!

The details:

~ Spiral Brushes

~ Box

~ Jar

~ Clock without Hands

~ Glitter Brushes

~ Key

~ Hedge Background

Due to the fact that I did the artwork for the rabbit and his accessories, that prolonged the time it took on this project.

About 10 to 12 hours with Photoshop CS5, helped by the Wacom tablets Cintiq (school) and Intuos 4 (my own).

... I was thinking of putting a fur texture on the rabbit, but decided against it at the last moment. I still think Mr. Rabbit looks pretty good.
