Continuing how I breakdown a story part II

““I don’t have a friend, so I’ll make one.” she said. She formed his body out of fluffy white marshmallows. She used chocolate chips for his eyes and nose. For his mouth she curled up a piece of red licorice. Finally, she gave him a bow tie made from a fruit roll and buttons made out of jelly beans.”

Q) What images comes to mind from the text?
A) “Ghost Busters”, “Michelin Man”



or even this little guy?



I don’t have a lot to say about the sketches and they are not in any order. Except it is not easy to have strong iconic images like the ones above and the original story of the “Gingerbread Man“ over your head and still try to come up with something different.
