The Sentient Bean coffee house scrabbles

My fourth and final postcard assignment can be traced back to our class' field trip day where we ventured to the nearest coffee shop and sketched inside. There was an especially colorful woman sitting at a table in front of mine, furiously typing away at her computer with this especially crazed expression. A classmate and I decided to draw this woman for our projects, which were just hilarious. I did a few other caricatures of some others in the shop as well:


I wanted to work in a new way with this one on the computer. I was aiming for the most "digital-looking" painting I could away with, and I ended up liking this process quite a bit. The cleanliness of it all was a fun way to approach values, and restricting myself to one or two tones per area was a challenge. But I like this one and I might do more like it.
