Description
Sorry for the crappy photo, but the scan was even worse.Edited slightly in PS, as there was an ugly doodle of a cheeseburger on a beach in the blank area next to it. I also had to up the contrast and fix the desaturization of the reds. The actual drawing is much more vivid.
The story behind this is that I work in a call center, and I had not been doing so well for a while, so my supervisor said "no puzzles or other distractions until your stats go up!" So this big piece of butcher paper was taped over this really big puzzle I had been working on for a month (so I wouldn't have to start over, you know?), and when an artists sees a large open white piece of paper, THEY MUST DOODLE. So I did, and this came out. The color is with Crayola markers, in 5 colors: red, orange, yellow, dark red, and black. The doodle was in pen, so that's why you see messy sketchiness around the edges in places. And in a few places my deskmate had splashed a little water on it and I had to touch it up as I colored. D:
I'm pretty satisfied with it, as I hardly ever draw traditionally and this was with pretty limited media.

Thanks! Poor quality markers and poor quality paper usually make for poor quality blending, but somehow I managed it. Still don't know exactly how, though. Glad you like it!
