"The Golden Goose Girl" Disney style

This post's sketch theme is "The Golden Goose Girl" (more commonly known as "The Goose Girl"). For those who don't know what the golden goose girl is, it's a Grimm fairy tale that happens to be one of my favorites. It's a story about a princess forced into posing as a geese caretaker while her waiting-maid takes her place as the princess. The real princess has hair of gold (Rapunzel isn't the only one famous for her hair ^_^ ).

These are my first sketches of her but I thought the chubby cheeks made her look too childish so I changed that.

I know only her hair is gold but I wanted her whole color pallete to be gold or yellow. Unlike most disney blondes the hair isn't a yellow blonde. I wanted it to look more like a bronze/gold so I added tan and brown to the hair. Also, unlike most disney blondes, her eyes aren't blue. Instead I went with a yellowish hazel. Again, unlike most disney blondes (or disney caucasians) she's a gold tan. She works outside all day so you can't tell me she won't get a tiny bit darker.

I wanted her to have some sort of feather design on her dress but then I came up with a different idea. The dresses will be posted in my next entry. Keep checking my blog!

AFI's 10 top 10: Animation

1. Snow White & the Seven Dwarves
2. Pinocchio
3. Bambi
4. The Lion King
5. Fantasia (PWNED the others! That's right! Don't mess with the mouse!)
6. Toy Story
7. Beauty and the Beast
8. Shrek
9. Cinderella
10. Finding Nemo

This list really surprised me. I never thought that Fantasia would make the cut. Not that it's bad or anything. It was my first Disney movie so it's very close to my heart. It's actually my favorite Disney movie because it influenced me greatly with my interest in art. No, what makes it's appearance on the countdown surprising is the fact that some people have heard of it but only a handful have actually seen it.

I recommend you click on the link because you can watch the original movie trailers for each movie in the countdown. I love how some of them are really retro.
