So, funny story about how this trash drawing came to be: I was trying to think up something new to draw and I figured I'd try and draw adult Sharon with her hair down. However, I felt a plain headshot would've been boring, so I needed to figure out some context for why Sharon would have her hair down. She almost always keeps it tied in a ponytail, but there are certain moments when she undoes it. The two most common moments being when she goes to bed and when she decides to bathe, and since my last big sketch already featured her sleeping... one thing led to another and I wound up with... this.

When it comes to nudity and sexuality, Sharon really doesn't like perverts or letting people look at her nude body. At all. This is especially apparent during her late teen/young adult "Outcast" years, during which time she develops a penchant for being frequently angry and aggressive towards others. She has her reasons, but just know that she does not like being sexualized and walking in on her unannounced or trying to sneak a peak of her naked figure is a great way to get her to lose her temper. That said, uh... unless she asked you to join her (and she likely didn't), you should probably just let her bathe in peace before she decides to claw your eyes out.

...
It's a pretty flawed piece, all things considered. The pose and context were kind of a spur-of-the-moment kind of deal and it shows with the wonky anatomy and proportions; it seemed like a good idea, would add to Sharon's character, and... well, I had to draw something since work has been especially dead lately. The right arm (the hand in particular) is a mess; I struggled and struggled with the placement and hand pose... this was the best I could do with the supplies on hand (when you make a mistake with pen, it's really hard to correct it). She's supposed to be gripping the towel and holding it place, but it just looks like she's scratching an itch on the side of her boob instead. Not only that, but I think it might look too small for the rest of the body. I'm very disappointed with myself over that.

Left arm's a little better, but not by much. Forearm's too thin, I think, and could've been angled to be closer to Sharon's face. Pretty sure this is the first time I ever drew someone flipping the bird... getting the hand right was surprisingly a little trickier than I had anticipated, but I think I did an okay-ish job here. Wings are a total rush job and were more of an afterthought than anything - they're supposed to be on the small side, but I think I made them too small here. Not entirely sure where the other end of that towel is; I was trying to give off the impression that she grabbed the thing in haste to cover herself up (not sure where, given that all around her is nothing but water... maybe it's just a large damp washcloth?), but I'm not sure how it's being held up in the back. I didn't exactly have a towel on hand to reference, and trying to mimic the pose with one while at work would've looked really awkward to my co-workers.

If there's one thing about this drawing that I think did turn out decent, it would probably be the face. I've attempted to draw angry faces before (with mixed results), but I can say without any uncertainty that Sharon's face here is the face of someone who is quite obviously fucking pissed. I had fun drawing that expression, if it isn't obvious. The mouth is a little off, but nothing I can't fix in PhotoShop. Also got another chance to draw Sharon's fangs; I've said before that Sharon has a pair of long venomous fangs that can fold out like a snake's, and while she can fold them out at will, they can also come out involuntarily during moments of intense stress or emotion (such as fear or anger). If nothing else, they certainly help create a more intimidating visage.

Part of my "Trash Drawing" series, in which I use the quieter moments of my day job to quickly sketch things down using whatever materials are available to me (which will almost always be pens and cardboard scraps). Due to the rough nature of the drawings, and the fact that my canvas is usually pieces of literal garbage, I have taken to calling these workplace sketches "Trash Drawings."
