I watched the movie Wicked a few days ago with my daughter. She was anticipating this musical since it was announced as she's a huge Ariana Grande fan and have always wanted to see Wicked. Hopefully, one day we'll get to see the stage musical together.
I grew up seeing the Wizard of Oz and the scary Return to Oz but had no idea what Wicked is about. I loved it so much! It has such a great message. I'm not going to say anything here so as not to spoil it but you have to watch it! It is a-ma-zing from the costumes, the sets, and the singing, of course. I love how seamless the talking parts go into the singing. Everything about the movie is fantastic.
I loved the movie so much that I needed...not wanted...needed to make an artwork of Wicked's Glinda.
I listened to the soundtrack again and again while I drew Glinda or Galinda as portrayed by Ariana Grande then outlined in ink and painted in watercolours.
I didn't get her slimness right but fixed it with shadows and I'm going to lengthen her dress a bit more. I had so much fun making this. I can't resist a fashion illustration and this pink dress is divine. I will still add details to her dress, maybe throw in some glitter...we shall see. So, watch this space for updates!
Also check out my other artworks and past works. I've got some fashion illustrations on Facebook, look in photos. If you'd like to learn how to draw or paint, I offer classes in studio.
