Description Another class assignment, this one to illustrate a poem that was handed out. I very nearly ruined this painting, but I think I saved it with the application of more intense color and the sharpie outlines. It's a look I rather like.
I think the guy's jaw is too pale, though, and the steering wheel in the lower left corner looks like nothing in particular.

Great narrative in this work. The colors keep it all together but the composition and the expression on both character's faces (particularly his) add layers of depth. I keep wondering exactly what he's thinking, and expecting some sort of comic series to explain it.

I also wonder what poem you illustrated, and whether you could post it.

Congrats, and keep up the nice work.

Just because I'm a curious person... What poem was this based on?

Cool. Very Nice. Sharpies can give off a intense and rush feeling. Sense Sharpies are one time application with a less likely chance of fixing(white-out) it's a good way to level up on dexterity, but this is nice~.

While consistency is grand, when it comes to taking it from real life there is a illusion of it. For all I know, there could be a car in the opposite lane about to pass by the car so the headlights of that car are making his jaw seem shades lighter.

I really like the colors and expression of the faces. The color of the jaw doesn't disturbs me, I rather like the way it seems the sun comes through the windows and lights some parts of the face.
