Lucy and the Wardrobe

Shining light through the window adds a real mood and atmosphere to the dark room. It's really mysterious and adds to Lucy's curiosity. In the book, this scene is described with the window too so maybe I should have included the window in the shot (it does seem a waste to have spent so long making and placing the window only for it to be missed from the scenes), but the window isn't needed - the light from it is the most important to this image anyway - and the illustration doesn't have to be an exact copy of the text, or it would be boring. I'm being selective and directing the scenes from the text, not spoon feeding the reader

Lucy is really small compared to the wardrobe but I think these proportions communicate Lucy's 'creature feeling' and the overwhelming feeling of being somewhere new and alien. Lucy is a child and this is a child's perspective for the reader.

I don't think a book would need this many images of Lucy looking in the wardrobe, perhaps could be narrowed down to just her finding the room and then walking into Narnia, but I have found uploading to Instagram in series of threes to be effective and this series of three Lucy images does tell a story.

I hope these images capture the curiosity and adventure that Lucy experiences in this Chapter of the story.
