As you mentioned, this is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s own drawing, but when I look at yours and his together it becomes obvious that you have made this your own … well done. I love to see adaptations like this, as opposed to direct copies.
It was influenced by the writing only- the drawing is indeed my version. Thank you so much xxxxxx

My favorite book!!!! Wonderful illustration — WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can just imagine how you’d do the rest of the ook — it would be FABULOUS!!!!
Aw thank you, you are so kind. I always come back to Alice every few years. I might get round to doing the full illustrations one day xx

Starting when I was about 8 until I was well into my 20’s I read Alice (both books) every Christmas Day. A fine tradition…….maybe I’ll start it again. I think you’ve inspired me!
I hope you do more.
Wonderful- such a good read.
I’m glad I’ve inspired you and your kind words have encouraged me to do some more Alice soon xx

ow wow…….this is so cool,
it’s a little comical, i love it…think it’s gonna be very popular Anita xx
Thank you- Its an old version that I revamped. I want to do some more Alice soon, but probably more classical :)))))) x

Although it is obvious you haven’t actually copied his work, Lewis Carroll imagined it quite similar to your version, back in 1887.
Oh wow yes- I have see similiar compositions to this indeed (almost every book and film) which have undoubted inspired my thought on how it should look.
I have never seen this particular one- and it was by Lewis Carroll himself, wow.
Thank you so much for sharing xx

I refer of course to the positioning of the figures. Your caterpillar is more trendy and better drawn.
OMG You cant say that- this was by the man himself ! I will take that as one huge compliment my friend :))))))) x

I think it is accepted that he was a better author than an artist, but some of his drawings do have a sort of charm about them. I have a collection of them I scanned from Alice In Wonderland. I love studying artists and have 2gb of material on famous artists.
I like the loose quality to his lines :))
