This sketch was constructed by Tim Burton in the year
2009. The center piece is a smaller than
average sized woman with a larger than life scaled head. The primary colors are light to darker shades
of red which are incorporated inside of the costume. Blue is often referred to in the characters’
makeup effects as well to exaggerate the main theme. The character sketched is known as the “Red
Queen”.
The facial expressions display a sense of anger, discomfort, and rage. There’s plenty of definition bounded within the ruffles of the dress sleeves and the neck garment. In my opinion the artist is conveying the inner pains of the Red Queen by displaying that her overall attitude is fierce, fearful, and passionate. In addition, there are repetitive symbols of hearts in the costume of the characters’ dress.
I think the artist was inspired by a whimsical energy so decided to manipulate the average scale of things. Objects such as her head size, recreating the same symbols in unification being the hearts on the soul of the dress, and by illustrating a play of emotions through the formation of facial features. This is demonstrated as the “Red Queen” aims to appear distressed while she’s surrounded with so much love and simple yet joyful colors. Even in the "Red Queen's" hair the details convey that it is more messy and gives the sense that there is an apparent disruption.
The technique used in this sketch displays a clear and conceptual statement. The details allow the viewers to formulate an accurate perspective of the theme. There are obvious communications by observing body language I feel are necessary when bringing any character to life, the way her eye brows are structured and even the heart drawn on her lips. I feel passionate about the potential the sketch holds to become a more than life scale.
