I should be working

Sketchbook, 2007.10.09

This sketch is for a weekly sketchgroup at the Amateur Illustrator forums. This week’s topic is “Costumes”. Each week, a new topic is chosen based on the suggestions of everyone who posted a sketch that week. As a bonus, whoever suggests the topic to be used in the next week’s sketchgroup will win a free T-shirt from Bountee.com.

I completed this sketch with a Sharpee in a notebook that I keep by my desk at work. The notebook is pretty empty because I’m usually busy, but today was a slow day so I doodled away. Once I finished, I scanned the sketch and colored it using Paint.NET (it’s free so I installed it at work). I’m used to my Wacom, so coloring with the mouse was a pain, but I’m rather happy with the result.
