I was asked by a friend to design two characters he had in mind for his short: a short fat husband and tall skinny wife.
I'm writing this down on the blog mostly for my own memory's sake as I doubt I'll remember all of this when I wake up.

So far there's the short's details he told me ( I wont say in case he doesn't want to reveal yet, and I probably can't do it justice if I tried to explain it),
From listening to the short story details and doing a quick couple of sketches, I've decided upon:
Wife;
- tall,skinny
- " oh, what is my husband doing now?" Sort of reaction
- shoulder length hair, light brown? Blonde? Sharp on ends , goes with face ; maybe a slight bob style
- sharp face shape ,
- long enough neck ( nothing too crazy!)
- necklace,pearl
- short scarf , yellow?green?
- turtle neck shirt , elbow length
- short heels ( she's already tall. I believe these types of shoes would be called "pumps"? Even though I'm a girl, I'm behind with fashion terminology )
- lengthy skirt, "pinstripe" (Again, I don't know the right fashion term, but the outside if the shirt looks like it has lines on it but not striped pattern or plaid)
Husband:
- fat , short - knees should show a bit of this
- " the idiotic husband"? ; comical w/o trying to be comical
- short hair, parted in middle; brown
- mustache
- rounded face , almost oval?
- slight chin
- barely any visible neck
- leather flat shoes , black
- vest, green?red?
- tie, black ........ Actually, No tie. ( too troublesome for the husband to wear given his size)
- white dress shirt, no cuffs,loose collars
- dress pants (since they're usually look loose enough I think? I wouldn't know.), black
I felt that having my blog as the first thing people see wasn't quite what I wanted so to combat this, I moved my artwork page to the first to be seen rather than my blog page. Hopefully it looks better?
/edit
As I mentioned in my previous blog posts, I was asked by a friend to draw/create the two characters for his short. Here's the wife, version 1.
The coloring is a lot rougher from my usual methods. I also tried setting the tablet pen's sensitivity lower than usual, to force myself to "paint" lightly. Hopefully this prevents my hand from getting too tense and cramping.

Notes as well as variations of initial ideas
I felt that having my blog as the first thing people see wasn't quite what I wanted so to combat this, I moved my artwork page to the first to be seen rather than my blog page. Hopefully it looks better?

Here's version 2 of the wife, for my friend's short. As with the first one, I didn't focus on the coloring as much as I would typically with my other work since I was more focused with getting the idea through rather than the coloring.
