Talked off the ledge

March 24, 2011

Hope your ride improved or was unaffected by today's transit plan proposal?


This drawing tried really hard to junk itself. There's so much wrong with it. I hit Ottawa's least-suspended rides, four buses in a row, which messed with everything. (My money's on the old blue seat buses -- not the new ones with the curvy backs -- for Worst Rattle Experience.) One lady's face was totally destroyed (Photoshop solution employed).

Then, I misjudged the angle of the iPhone readers head. She's clearly not looking at it. Turns out I wasn't wrong - she spent most of her time lost in thought. She was on a news site, but I couldn't see the story. But it doesn't look right, does it.

I drew the opposite passengers later and guessed where to put them, so of course they're too close together, too far down and too little.

I didn't finish Curly Hair in time, and I can't draw feet without a model, so... he doesn't have any. 

So, yeah, it was going to join my large trash pile. But then I got fond of it and tried to fake out some of the faults. So now you know the truth behind one of my new favorites, wonky as it is.
