the canterbury tales



Here's another design for The Sting in the Tale festival of stories. It's to go with an event about The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, which is a collection of stories written in old English, told by a load of people as they go on a pilgrimage to Canterbury- so here we can see some of these people all talking and telling stories at once as they travel.

I made two versions of the drawing, as you can see. Which one is better? I can't decide. They're not too different, the first one has a few extra lines.

Again, no shading allowed here. You're gonna be seeing a lot of drawings similar to this over the next month or so (around 30), so I hope they're liked.

  1. I prefer the second one.

    Nice drawing! What is it about? It looks like an episode from Mio Cid and his horse named Babieca.

    1. I haven't actually read The Canterbury Tales so I'm not too sure, pretty bad right? But from what I gather, it's made up of a collection of stories told by a group of people while they're on a pilgrimage to Canterbury cathedral, and the whole thing is written in old English.
