At least I think we was done with it. He walked away. That counts as "S'all yours. Do your worst" doesn't it?!
Anyway, after he left, and as I kept working on the green scribble, adding leaves and shading with green and blue crayons at some point I saw a monster in there and couldn't resist adding the mouth - Your Honour, I did hesitate as I didn't want to do something too scary lest it would upset aforementioned child. Putting the eyes below the mouth was an interesting decision, but the execution wasn't quite right - they look a bit disconnected and bulbous. I like the Tyrannosaurus Rex stick-like arms and the many legs that look like trunks from shrubs or small trees. I think the monster would move like a caterpillar on these many legs. It's also interesting how messy the whole thing is. I think the messy, imperfect quality adds more than if it were cleaner or more polished.
Such a drawing often inspires me to ask questions like who is this guy? What's his story or does he fit into another story? I sense another project coming on!
