Just Promise Me One Thing

Where there is kindness there is goodness, and where there is goodness, there is magic. 

I finally did it. I am in love with this movie and have wanted to draw the dress ever since I saw it the first time. I finally finished it to a point that I can be proud of! I just love the designs in this movie! I hope you enjoy my rendition of the beautiful dress designed by Sandy Powell.

Belle

“I said: "He cannot be so bad if he loves roses so much."

"But he is a Beast," said Father helplessly.

I saw that he was weakening, and wishing only to comfort him I said, "Cannot a Beast be tamed?” 

--From Beauty by Robin McKinley

I loved painting this piece. Based on one of my favorite fairy tales, and modeled by one of my beautiful friends, I have always wanted to put this character down on canvas.
