Pride Magazine (Patreon)

Okay, so this is a bit of an interesting story: I started working on this, originally just with the idea in mind to draw a little something for pride month. It was supposed to be a warm up sketch that I might go back and finish later.
However, when I was working on the sketch, I kept contemplating how I wanted to develop this picture further.
Eventually it started to become an experiment on my own workflow, as I wanted to see how much time would be needed if I skipped over some of the steps like cleaning up the sketch. I was really surprised at how good the result looked, so I kept going.
The idea spiraled a little out of control and I realized that the picture in and of it self looked a bit awkward, with Rick just standing there. So I had the idea of turning it into a magazine cover and I think it works quite well. :3
It was an interesting experience to see the direction of the picture shift as I was working on it and I'm glad I managed to learn a thing or two about my own workflow and pace.
I want to wish all and everyone of you a happy pride month! I know things are rough right now, so I hope you all are staying safe and celebrating your own individuality. Be proud of who you are and let no one tell you different. Diversity is a strength that helps us become better at understanding the world and each other.
Be proud everyone! :3
Enjoy the picture & Happy Pride Month!
