Description
Here is the Troll. His design was inspired by Frederick Richardson's frog-like troll design in the Classical Volland Edition "GREAT CHILDREN'S STORIES". My Grandma used to read that book to me every time I stayed over at her house. The turn-of-the-century illustrations scared me a bit, but it was still my favorite book. She gave me that book as a gift when I graduated college. To this day it is one of my favorite things.Related content

Awesome design man! The expression is just PRICELESS! The pipe is a cool addition too. I used to hear that story when I was a kid too.

On what paper size do you work and what brush/pen do you use?

Hey Dirk! I do not use brush pens, but I use a smaller tipped brush with India ink. I draw on plate surface Bristol (Strathmore). For these chracter drawings, the paper size is at 8.5 x 11 inches. But for the bigger stuff, I use close to 11 x 17

I actually stole that idea from an old Fairly tale book. the artist made him look like a man-frog.
