Hello! Thank you for visiting my shop.
I drew this for Folktale Week 2022. If you haven't heard of Folktale Week I'd really recommend checking it out on Instagram to find some amazing artists! One of the prompts was "tree" and I decided to draw the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood as she walks through the forest to see her grandma. The folktale of Little Red Riding Hood dates back to before the 17th Century, however it bears loads of similarities to stories told by Greek and Roman writers from more than two thousand years ago.
I find the symbolism in this ancient folktale fascinating, with my favourite interpretation being that the deep red colour of Little Red's hooded cloak symbolising the sun, which is eventually consumed by the dark night (the wolf).
The forest, as in many folktales is supposed to symbolise the unknown.
