So I was looking through my portfolio the other day and had a little "Oh" moment. I obviously have a, shall we say, plethora of animal characters. I needed to start drawing humans, but what?
Well thank you downtown traffic! I was attempting to get across town through our newly renovated downtown, listening to music, completely zoning out when I realized the truck in front of me. Well, being the strange artist that I am I didn't necessarily notice the truck, more the shape of the young man's head driving the truck. Sounds strange I know, but he had the classic Norman Rockwell shaped head in my opinion . . . so I attempted to sneak a picture
Attempt is the perfect word cause I completely failed. It was blurry and he turned his head. BUT I still had his adorable shaped head imprinted in my brain . . . So today I decided to get to work and draw some characters.
So low and behold . . . Levi. I figured to go for a more classic 50's look, possibly because I have Rockwell on the mind, and just because I feel the 50's was visual epitome of juvenile innocence on the cusp of rebellion. But what young 50's generation teenager is complete for his evening downtown cruise without a date.
So hello Lola! Honestly if I was behind a couple and their silhouettes looked like theirs I would definitely take a successful photo cause I think this is adorable. But that could just be me
