I found some old art peices when sorting through some old sketchbooks recently and decided to rework some of my ideas. This is based on what I believe is my first ever Wicked fan art from I wanna say 2008-ish? It was around the time I first discovered I liked the soundtrack, but I hadn't actually seen the show yet so didn't really know how it was staged beyond photos I'd seen and what I imagined in my head when listening to it. This wasn't even really my art style of the time so I guess I was experimenting and I don't think I was feeling it back then either as I don't have anything else drawn with these big heads. I liked my general idea though, which is why I wanted to revisit it and I guess it's a bit of one of those 10 year challenges even if I didn't mean it to be! There is a certain satisfaction in seeing that the subject matter I enjoy drawing really hasn't changed in all of this time, it feels very authentic.
The original artwork, and the redrawn sketch.
