Blog 11: power of Tomato

   

Written by:

I had the idea for this drawing from creating veggies and fruit with one set of buff limbs and one set of bug limbs about a year ago. I decided to recreate that for a pos. I started this drawing with a strange tomato that looked kind of funky. I made it thinking it would be one of many veggies. Its legs were kind of weird, and its feet looked like chili peppers. Its arms had more joints than humans, and those joints bent at strange angles. It didn’t mesh, and it didn’t look good. I ended up removing the strange feet. I made its arms much stronger looking, and made one arm look like it was goofily growing as it was flexing. I tried using some shonen elements, such as the bulging vein in the muscles and the spiky “hair.” I loved the idea of the little dinky tomato children goggling at their dad. Not my favorite drawing, but by no means bad.

Draw on,

The Drawing Post
