Picture book Snow White: The most beautiful woman in the magic mirror

author:Half Book Half Draw 2021

In the last issue, I watched the unsatisfactory live-action version of "Snow White", and this issue looked at picture books to nourish the eyes.

Unlike the "Cinderella" picture book in the West, the domestic "Snow White" picture book standard is not inferior to that of foreign countries (although they are all old versions).

Introduction: "Her skin is as white as snow, her lips are as red as blood, and her hair is as black as ebony", an effect that cannot be achieved by real people is achieved in the painting. Black hair and snow skin red dress, this version of Snow White is completely on my aesthetic point.

Introduction: Childhood memories, the favorite copy of "Snow White", when I was a child, I once thought it was the work of foreign painters. Snow White's skin is white and red, and the texture is delicate. The characters have vivid expressions and are in line with the personalities of different characters. The background and picture decoration are as delicate as medieval manuscripts, which can be called the art masterpieces of Chinese picture books. The only regret is that the number of pages is too few to read.
