Silver is classier than Gold.


Well hello! First actual art post! Hurroo! Well let's get to the logistics then, shall we?

So this fine little gentleman we see here is the product of my wonderful friend Laura's idea for a charming storybook. He is nameless as of yet, but she gave me the creative license to go where I wanted with his design (in this stage at least, haha!) He is basically wearing mismatched clothing: an ill-fitting sweater, scarf, shorts, rubber rain boots, and knee socks. I wanted him to be kind of scrappy and adorable, something a young child could relate to in the simplest of ways.
Ironically enough, the original plan was for the book to be in Seuss style, but I wanted to throw this design out there first. Wish me luck that she likes this!

Basic medium: Pencil (mechanical pencil, .5 lead) on sketchbook paper.
