The Snow Queen #1

Few days ago i was horrified when find out that the last work in Photoshop for myself was drawn in 2016 ... Of course, I drew a lot pictures in the vector and photoshop i used also active, but it's not that i need - I have a feeling , that I generally forgot how to select colors and mold shapes from scratch, without photo or hiding complicated places under vector stylization ... 

With this purpose I came up with an educational project for myself - I will draw small pictures for a wonderful fairy tale by Andersen. To leave the comfort zone and draw very different things, I will illustrate almost every paragraph. In the end, I hope to have a ton of sketches for the fairy tale and to improve slightly my drawing skills. Join to my challenge, drawing together more fun :) 

You must attend to the commencement of this story, for when we get to the end we shall know more than we do now about a very wicked hobgoblin; he was one of the very worst, for he was a real demon. One day, when he was in a merry mood, he made a looking-glass which had the power of making everything good or beautiful that was reflected in it almost shrink to nothing, while everything that was worthless and bad looked increased in size and worse than ever. The most lovely landscapes appeared like boiled spinach, and the people became hideous, and looked as if they stood on their heads and had no bodies. Their countenances were so distorted that no one could recognize them, and even one freckle on the face appeared to spread over the whole of the nose and mouth. The demon said this was very amusing. When a good or pious thought passed through the mind of any one it was misrepresented in the glass; and then how the demon laughed at his cunning invention.
