Help… HEEELP!

Finally I’ve started on my vacation! It’s going to last for two weeks and I’m going to take Meny off my mind and body. I’ve been on the verge of shouting at some rude/unpleasant/impatient customers. Having worked almost every single day for two weeks and having to reason with… less intelligent people has been a chore. I’m actually a very patient and loving person, but there’s a limit to my patience after having worked four (or five?) years with something less giving and having to listen to people that are unable to grasp the fact that I’m just scanning the barcodes and handing out bags, or that our post “office” in the store is about six months old. I won’t break the law just to please some stubborn customers!

Now, that I’ve vented off some steam, here’s a picture that I’ll probably leave unfinished:

Unfinished pirate. Just got messed up!

Unfinished pirate. Just got messed up!

I started by adding a blueish-green background and added some basic shapes of the character with a brown colour. The clothes were originally orangeish-brown, but I wanted them to be blue. Didn’t work to well now did it?! I don’t understand how coloured lighting affects other colours. Another problem is the lack of contrast in the picture. I’ll just leave it unfinished for now.

Sunday. Cruddy Sunday…

“No pictures you say?!

No images of fanciful depictions of colorful monstrosities?

No paintings tainted by your hands?

Lies! You’ve lied to us!

LIES AND SLANDER!!!”

 

It seems like my side of the sketch-a-day project has gone somewhere warm and unpleasant. This has mostly to do with me going to work almost every single day. When I have days off I spend them with other people or just try to relax. Seems like this week is going to be more of the same, but I will try to make some pictures.
