Something funny I added to a co-worker's board due to another co-workers request of what to put on her board.

Roy de Carava 1953 "Boy selling balloons"

 I wish I had more time to work on this, I really do. I had two weekends to work on it, but sadly, one weekend might as well have not existed because I had to go to my 9-5 job for one of those weekends. I took this weekend off to get it done to a level that is hopefully passably okay. I'm considering working on it some more even after turning it in for a grade because this is just appalling in terms of what I copped out on to just make it look finished. The shirt, the wall in the back, the helium tank, and especially that manhole. (The manhole I REALLY can't wrap my brain around, though. P: )

For now - this is finished.

Hat studies. Below is a sketch of a piece of my room. It's a radio... it's been unused since I was 12, I swear. It is old. >__>

The photo is suuuper bad and unclear quality... but this is what my current life is... working on this. P: Basically, I "black" out a white bristol board with charcoal and then i get the shapes out by using a kneaded eraser. it's a test of shape judging. I've spent at least 5+ hours rubbing out and restarting areas, especially the boy. I really regret picking such a busy photo to copy (it has a helium tank, balloons, sewer manhole, and lines on the walls) especially since I barely had an entire weekend to work on it due to my boring 9-5/6 job as a retail sales associate. P:

It's bad quality so it's hard to judge stuff... but I added an even less clear image of the ORIGINAL photo I'm copying for it. XD So... there? I dunno~ It's looking pretty close to me, even with that photo so I'll let myself be happy with that thought.

I'll post it up when it's fully done. :)
