The Three Robbers, children's book illustration

The brief was to illustrate the same scene of a children’s book twice, from two points of view. I chose The Three Robbers by Tomi Ungerer, a story that is dark and tender at the same time.

Outside, the robbers wait in the dark forest. Inside, the little girl sits alone in the carriage, just before everything changes. Deep blues and moonlight build the tension outside, warm reds and browns make the inside feel safe. The red of the axe, the curtain and her dress links the two images.
