I had the idea for this picture a couple of months ago (see below) but the original sketch didn't cut the mustard and remained unfinished. The main problem I had was that the proportions of the leaning figure were too naturalistic. I always need to remind myself to distort and exaggerate parts of the drawing and make the subject 'unreal' in some way in order for it to succeed as an illustration. I'm still not completely happy with the execution of this, but I like the idea.
