The Troll and the Raven

Done with: 0.1 and 0.8 black inking pens, white gel pen for the girls' eyes in panel four
On: A3 watercolour paper

In applying to an art school, I was supposed to draw a six-panel comic
of a story which goes pretty much like this:

A man with his three daughters lived in a cabin in the middle of the forest.
One night, a troll came and kidnapped the man's eldest daughter,
the next night it took the middle-born one,and the next night the youngest.
(I felt it unnecessary to show each chick-teft individually and had the troll steal the whole lot at once)
On the third night the man had followed his daughter and seen what happened.
He tried to catch the troll, but was only quick enough to see it disappear in its cave with his kid.
While being busy behaving desperate and crying his eyes off,
the man saw a raven and explained it what had happened.
The raven told the man to go home and not to worry, and went to talk to the troll.
It told the troll the birds of the forest had organized a singing contest and invited the troll to join,
but when they arrived where the contest was to take place,
all the birds had shoved their heads under their wing and looked headless.
When the troll asked the birds how could they sing with their heads cut off, they told it to wait and see,
but before that it would have to cut off its own head, for the contest was for headless only.
Since the troll obviously liked singing more than anything,
and even more obviously was dumb as a Digimon-fan, it told the girls to cut off its head.
And thus.
Yep yep.
