LUCIE walks up the magical hill up up up away from Littletown

Further environment development work for the Tiggy Winkle story by Beatrice Potter. In this image Lucy has just started off on her jurney up the magical hill above Littletown , at the top of which Tiggy Winkle herself the hedgehog washerwoman lives. Next I am going to start developing what the characters in the story look like and what their houses look like. And I will do more pieces like these for the rest of Lucys jurney.

The story is set in Couillure a small french village in France, during the Edwardian era. Above is the first batch of sketches for the Lucie the main character. I have not given her a last name yet. She is probably going to change considerably as I need her to fit a specific mold thats sitting in my head, and she needs to look french and she needs to mold well with the other characters.
I researched alot of french childrens costume from the edwardian era. I found some national costumes in the brittany area. They wore these pretty little lace hat things I'm going to try to encorperate into the Ms. Tiggy Winkle character.
