Hi all, to recognise Black History Month I’ve decided to draw Rodgers & Hammerstei

Hi all, to recognise Black History Month I’ve decided to draw Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997). The movie was the first film to depict Cinderella as a person of colour with a multi-cultural cast of characters. I remember first seeing this film on VHS when I was at my grandfather’s place down the South Coast in Australia, my aunty rented it at the video store. I was about 8 at time and thought strange that a black person was playing Cinderella, my simple mind couldn’t see the significance of the casting until now. Plus I didn’t know who Brandy was, she was new to me. But then I knew her better when she released “What About Us” in 2002. Now that the film is on Disney Plus I’ve watched it again and (seriously) this film has a fun cast, beautiful set designs that are based off one of my favourite artists of all time Gustav Klimt. Also the song “Impossible!/It’s Possible!” is stuck in my head while writing this. I do hope this film gets a remake in the future, cause this film needs to be seen my a new generation of kids and families. This adaptation of Cinderella is a fan fiction fantasy story that needs no explanation why they are a certain ethnicity, but to have fun, learn and entertain the audience. I used a graphics tablet, Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Photoshop 2021. #cinderella #disney #disneyplus #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #manga #anime #drawing #illustration #whitneyhouston #brandy #fairytail #fantasyart #gustavklimt #blm https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWjJThAMRb/?igshid=1mjeghgzh2zc3 -- source link
