Magic Dust: Sketch a Faun

Estimated Time: 30+ minutes

When Lucy sees the faun for the first time, she sees,

"From the waist upward he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat's (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat's hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella: in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels"

For this project, you will need:

  • Colored Pencils, Markers, or another drawing instrument
  • Plain paper, cardstock, or sketch journal

Sketch out what you think the faun looks like based on this description. If you have seen movie images of the faun, try to place them out of your mind for a moment and concentrate on the written description only.

Then share your drawings with us in the comments below.
