IF - sweater

this drawing was inspired by www.illustrationfriday.com on 2/11/11 with the word "sweater".

as soon as i heard the word, i knew that i was thinking of someone who was sweating instead of someone wearing a sweater. after all, once a woman reaches 40s, anything can be a hot, sweaty business!


i used this picture as a guide for the picture i drew. while it was based on a sumo wrestler, i'm not sure that my drawing doesn't look like an italian mafia dude.

regardless, i'm sure he's a sweaty person to be around and i definitely wouldn't want to be sharing space w/ him!

this was done w a brown fat prang colored pencil on 70# white sketchbook paper. A brief spray of fixative will keep the colored pencil from smearing more from wear and tear in the sketchbook.
