I borrowed the pants and shirtlessness from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and the hat was inspired loosely by the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Cathedral on Geary & 26th in the Outer Richmond. The shoes are lifted directly from the pages of this month’s W magazine.

I used a .5 mechanical pencil then a .1 Staedler pigment liner pen on sketchbook paper, same as always. I had to omit her feet because I ran out of paper, so I drew another pair of legs (replete with shoes) on tracing paper, and then I composited and colored in Photeauschoppe. That’s the original drawing on the bottom.

I swear this really happened

ANYWAY, I colored this drawing (in Faux toe chop), bearing in mind rowstyles’ suggestion that I try to resolve in two colors. YEEEEEEAH RIGHT! But I tried it anyway and boy, am I convinced
