[Closed] Susan and Corin and a hairbrush

Inspired by Beginte's picture "I don't want to be brushed!". (If you haven't seen it, you should take a peek!) :D

I think this features a slightly older Corin, but he still thinks that his hair is just fine as it is. So we have Corin skipping backwards, and Susan half-amused, half-irritated.

That's very funny! Actually I wonder how Shasta (or Cor) would react to having to brush his hair... =))

That's very well done, and I just love how you and Beginte are drawing amusing and beautiful pictures that link on to HHB. You did wonderfully! ;)

:)) I love it! :D This is so beautiful, first off, I love how every single smallest line in this picture lives it's own life, everything here is alive and in motion! Now, I love the way Corin is backing away nervously (great job on drawing a human walking backwards, it gives me problems sometimes), waving his hand in protest, and the way Susan looks is just perfect! I like her amusedly tilted position, the way she's half amused and half exasperated. I also like the detail of the circlet in her hand :) Her hair is amazing, so fairytale-like, and I love how you loosely base on Pauline Baynes' pattern of drawings, but add so much from yourself and your own style! The details are amazing, and I love the background! Lovely job!

Thanks, Shastafan. Glad you're enjoying them! :D

Awww, thank you Beginte. You know it would never have existed if you hadn't planted the idea. I think drawing Susan's hair was my favourite part. ;)) Thinking about the drawing someone from the back, I remembered a drawing exercise from Draw Horses with Sam Savitt, where he drew in the shapes of a figure and used the same shapes for both a front view and a back view -- but then, I'm not sure it would have worked in this case.

You're welcome :) Aw, it was all your work, and I love your take on the scene! Oh, Susan's hair is gorgeous, it's obvious that it was drawn with enjoyment! Oh, indeed it's a method that works... though in this case Corin's back is so detailed that indeed it wouldn't be too good. By the way, I forgot to tell you - I love the way his left foot is angled! I often have trouble drawing feet in walk when they're lifted just partially, at an angle, and I adore how you did it!

Awesome drawing Meltintalle! :D
I Love to see how two different people interpret one scene! :)
I really love Susan’s hair and clothes, and I can just picture the look of horror on Corin’s face if you could see it! :p Great Job! :D

Oooooooooohhhhhhhh! you drew Susan with long hair! Nobody ever seems to remember this very important fact. I like your drawing a lot. It looks like it really could have come from Narnia.

Thank you, Lady Arwen Undómiel. I'm glad you like it! Personally, I really like drawing Susan with long hair, I think it's quite elegant. (And fun to draw. :D )

I'm glad you enjoy it, Pepper! If Corin's pose didn't tell a story, the whole picture would just fall apart, I think. :)
