The Lovely Break

Who's that co-worker? I'm planning a series of little drawings of my fellow co-workers here at the studio. I want to capture them at certain moments that not necessarily show the kind of person they are, but show just one aspect of them that sticks out to me. I guess I won't name them for sake of letting this be a mystery and not embarrass anyone. Unless I think it won't be a problem. :) With that, here is my next piece.


-This is the original sketch. I peered down from the third floor of the "condos" as they call the building I'm in. There are some couches, chairs, tables, table hockey table, and a round, red/orange circular couch. This friend of mine was just laying there taking a break on the circular couch as the sun shined down near noon. I thought the pose just really showed a great hour-glass form. In hindsight, I could've exaggerated the pose much more...but it is what it is. I drew it based on memory, roughly 2 weeks later.


-The finished piece. The great thing about her outfit, is the green against the red/orange couch was very "Nickelodeon". The couch is really more of a red, but with the sun on it, I took a little liberty with the color. I am still very new to coloring my pieces. I don't like the end results very much, but I feel like posting this will give me more chances at looking at it multiple times. I'm on the internet often and occasionally find myself on my own blog again, revisiting my art. I love how wild her hair looked that day!
