      I'm wondering if people get the joke and what is happening in this image (still very rough) before I start to clean up the drawing. When I color it I will use warmer colors to focus the eye.

            @rcartwright Blow dryer battle?
            It's really funny! The blow dryer closer to us reads very well, it's clear what it is! What threw me off a little bit is the full-body character since they have no hair and the most prominent feature is the hat!

              @nessillustration I'm glad you got the idea. I made the hat stand out because in the final it will be Frosty the snowman

                @rcartwright Ohhhhhh I get it now! Blow dryer vs. snowman! Alright so for my part, the blow dryer part read instantly but not the snowman part. Though the colors should help with that!

                  I read it just fine šŸ™‚ I think with some values worked in it'll read super duper clear.

                          I love this!

                          I would say give the snowman a carrot nose šŸ™‚ I thought he was a bear … but very cool (haha) idea!

                            I’m not really sure. Is the front character using a hair drier for a gun?
