Charcoal and soft pastel on newsprint

This artwork is a landscape sketch of a goose-laundress character inspired by Slavic fairy tales. In it, I depicted a habitat for this character based on research. A dynamic composition that depicts the movement of a duck doing human work makes the process in which an animal is involved look natural and common. By the process of turning two-dimensional still pictures into moving images, the entertainment industry uses animation to bring characters in a story to life. This piece depicts human nature in its innate being.
