My roommate recently got sick. Therefore, when I was hunting down something small enough to fit in an A4 paper to create an illustration, a thermometer popped into my sight. The idea that pulling out the old school thermometer from its case is similar to pulling the sword from its sheath has been in my mind since I was young.
With this idea in my mind, I searched illustrations online, try to mimic its stance on the paper. Finally, I referred to the image below. Unable to find an ideal color pencil to create the blending effect, I tried to use the eyebrow pencil. Playing the make-up on a piece of paper instead of a face is a novel experience. Though the final illusion is not as good as I expected, creating “Sunday Sketches” is still enjoyable, which encourages me to think more creatively about the rather everyday stuff in life.
