Description
As someone from Texas going to New York for school, the snow I see when I'm in NY is nothing short of remarkable. Every time. I don't get tired of it. I go out of my way to step in it when I'm on my way to class and it's snowed, even though in the city they push it all aside to the curb. New York just recently had a huge blast of snow go through; however, I was home for the holidays in Texas, where it reached 85 degrees about three days before Christmas. Of course I don't regret being home, but I'm disappointed I missed that snow. To help make myself feel better, I fished out this drawing I did earlier in the month of Sophie and Lucas having a snowball fight. I've always considered Sophie and Lucas to be my "New York" characters, who actually live in Manhattan (interestingly enough, I hardly ever draw them when I'm home, either. Fitting). So, even though I'm in Texas, in their world, Sophie and Lucas are still in New York--in just the right place to catch the snow when it hit. I colored this with a lot of enthusiasm. They look like they've pelted each other pretty sufficiently, too. Apparently they went to Central Park to have their snowball fight, as well, judging by those trees behind them and no... well, buildings. It makes sense, though--where else in Manhattan could you have a good snowball fight besides in Central Park?
