The Witch of the North


"But I thought all witches were wicked," said the girl, who was half frightened at facing a real witch. "Oh, no, that is a great mistake. There were only four witches in all the Land of Oz, and two of them, those who live in the North and the South, are good witches. I know this is true, for I am one of them myself, and cannot be mistaken. Those who dwelt in the East and the West were, indeed, wicked witches; but now that you have killed one of them, there is but one Wicked Witch in all the Land of Oz--the one who lives in the West."

- Ch. 2 "The Council with the Munchkins", from the Wonderful WIzard of Oz

None of the Scarecrows in Kansas ever wink


While Dorothy was looking earnestly into the queer, painted face of the Scarecrow, she was surprised to see one of the eyes slowly wink at her. She thought she must have been mistaken at first, for none of the scarecrows in Kansas ever wink; but presently the figure nodded its head to her in a friendly way.

She saw a Scarecrow


There was a great cornfield beyond the fence, and not far away she saw a Scarecrow, placed high on a pole to keep the birds from the ripe corn.

Dorothy

Normally I don't enjoy drawing children (they tend to be less interesting than, say, villains), but I actually had a lot of fun with Dorothy. I'm thinking "A" is the gal I'm going to go with. Sometimes you just get it right the first time.
