Bummed cigarettes have an odd way of gathering interest, and at odd times the same, the tax man finds himself face to face with the debtor.
Not really sure how I wound up drawing Colin like some cheesy 2000's video game mascot, it just happened along the way. Not my cleanest traditional work, but I'm proud of it anyhow. On the topic of Traditional Art, in the last year or so, I've found myself enjoying pencil to paper rather than pixel to pixel and I've come to acknowledge that. It feels a lot more comforting and easy to do it that way. Sure, the art is arguably cleaner when I do it digitally, but I don't have time to argue, I'm a busy man. Speaking of busy, my tablet's gonna be busy collecting dust as I hone my skill like the old masters.
The depths in shading with posture is great, though a more slanted stance for our protagonist would've been better if he's going to be in a more combative stance. Though that might've been remedied by that cue in the right hand in a middle of forming a fist, even then that'd be tucked in if he was preparing to strike.
I'd definitely love to hear your end of this whole illustration, and I want so say again that this is pretty good mate
I appreciate your feedback. I was more so going for a "Still willing to talk it out, preparing for when shit goes awry" feeling. Obviously the guy in the foreground has no interest, but at the time, I saw Colin as someone who does his best to put diplomacy in place at every opportunity. Of course, that's all due to change sporadically. I may need to get what I truly see them as down on paper one of these days, but something tells me that would be less fun.
