    This is a sketch from a story I am illustrating for my friend, Benjamin Singleton, called Eustace Pennyworth And the Dragon of Chichester. You can check out his facebook fan page by typing the title in facebook search.  I have done a painting for the same story, which you can see here: http://www.marysullivanartwork.com/art/then-he-cried-big-dragon-tears/ . The sketch I did today was an attempt to figure out what I want to do with this scene. I'm not sure I like the composition, etc, but we'll see what happens. I haven't decided if the dragon or the princess should be in front. And I don't know if the princess should be in the water, or on the bank trying to pull off her shoes, or having her crown getting caught in her hair when should took it off, etc.
