The next in my series of Disney source material character sketches is the wolf-raised Man-cub himself (review of The Jungle Book and its sequel here and here). I really liked these books, and even though they're a little darker than the Disney version, I think it's a pretty good adaptation in some ways.
(Also, I thought and thought about putting a little scrap of something on him, but it's just not the way it was or would be in the books, and I also thought and thought about marking this as mature, but it's just not. It's quite as innocent as it can be.)
UPDATE: Painted version here
Snow White here.
Pinocchio here.
Denizens of Sleepy Hollow here.
Cinderella here.
Alice In Wonderland here.
Peter Pan here.
Sleeping Beauty here.
The Wart here.
Mowgli here.
Robin Hood here
Taran here.
Basil of Baker Street here.
Oliver here.
The Little Mermaid here.

Yeah, I can totally see why they would put a little something on him, but it does make more sense that he would just go au naturel, and that's definitely how he's described in the book (in vaguest detail, of course). Maybe in the movie he's just wearing the blanket that he was found in, and fashioned it into a little diaper because instinctively he knew he wasn't just an animal? Ha, I don't know.
Do you mean he was younger in the book or in the movie? In any case, it's interesting, he goes from infancy in the books all the way to adulthood. I just decided to draw him somewhere in the middle there, since that's where he spends most of the stories.
