So I made a version of this a few years back. I like to redo a few select pictures every so often to see if I'm making anything resembling progress in my skills.

I like to think I've nudge a little further from where I was.

This picture was a bit of technical challenge both on and off the page.

I actually drew the figures on separate sheets of paper and did all that PShop magic to bring them together. It was weird for me to visualize two separate images and how they would work together. Also, spared me some of the grief of making the picture as a whole and gave me some leeway as to how to present them in different ways.

Still have some bugs to work out, so back to the drawing board (hehehe... drawing board)

Pencils: 4 hours
PShop: 8 hours
