      Is that President Obama when he was still a community organizer in Chicago? It looks a lot like him! Great expressions and sandwiches btw!

          Did you do all of this in the past 3 days. I really like the piece and your speed astounds me.

            @natiwata Really nice Nat! - what a great take on the prompt - I know it is a WIP but did you want feedback? If so - The only thing I see is the scale of the feet - i know they are foreshortened but both sets of feet look a tiny bit small to me - on the right hand figure too I think there possibly should be more thickness in the metatarsal area - really great story! - looking forward to seeing it finished

              What a great idea! Such a nice way to visualize the concept of love.

                  Thanks everyone for the comments! This piece came from an experience I had in college one summer. I made friends with a couple of guys that held signs on the corner by my work, after stopping to get them a meal one day, named Jimmy and John. They were really awesome people and I would regularly stop on my way home and sit on the curb in my shirt and tie, and have a coke or a sandwich with them.

                  A day I'll never forget came when I had to go back to college and knew they were going to be moving on. Someone had mistakenly given them a bag full of backpacks instead of clothes earlier that day, so John gave me new backpack, which I still use to this day 14 years later. The thing that stuck with me the most was how happy these guys were to be able to give me something as a gift.

                    @sam-marrero I'm using Procreate. I downloaded Photoshop Sketch and Paper, and a couple of others, but none had the features or ease of use of Procreate, so I decided to give it a try. So far it's been really awesome!

                    @Imrush I did this over a couple days, but the idea has been bouncing around for weeks, so there was a lot of incubation time.

                    @gimmehummus lol, it's not Obama, but I could see that I guess 🙂

                        This is really great--I love the design and rendering of the homeless character! The overall idea is pretty brilliant!
