-39.3-

---- day 3.
I drew the theme "Rich and smug" along with the medium "charcoal and chalk."
Immediately, an image came into my head.
Peirpont Finch (in charcoal) smiling his trademark smile while a line drawing (in chalk) of a businessman  is in the background/future (the businessman would be done in the style of a cartoon by Puck that I saw in social studies. Finch must have popped into my head because "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" rehersals were going on at the time.
First I drew Finch, using the "sculpting" technique I found with charcoal (I wrote about this in a previous post, but "sculpting" is pulling the light values out of a dark blob in order to draw a picture)

After that, I found the cartoon so I could have a reference of the style (it took me a while, since I forgot what the name of it was called at the time).

With the red chalk I drew a stereotypical businessman behind finch (I was afraid that it'd mess up the charcoal -which I liked- but...the picture would have looked empty without it.)
