A note from the artist:
"The characters in this drawing are supposed to represent the Queen, Hamlet himself, and Polonius. The Queen is shown gasping at the sight of Hamlet stabbing Polonius through the curtain. I chose this angle of view to not only show how surprised the Queen looks but also the act of Hamlet stabbing Polonius without making it all look flat and unorthodox. This is the best angle, in my opinion, that could've been chosen to do this without the production of animation. I decided to make this black and white to show that this was an older time."
What amazing details in this sketch - down to the back of the Queen's dress. I agree that the perspective from which this is drawn does well to show the scene. Great drawing.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of angle from which to show the action - great summary of what's going on. I love the black and white detail, too - nice job.
