Sketch of "Twitter birds"



So here are some sketches for this month's topic, "Freedom is out of fashion."
It's about how we choose to be chained to our social media devices because it's the fashion to constantly update our Twitter, Facebook, and so on.

I kind of like the second sketch better because it exaggerates the amount of tweeting, and even with one eye, he is still engrossed in updating his tweets on his phone. And if you're wondering what the graphic is on his shirt, it's a silhouette of binoculars. It's a birdwatching shirt. I thought it would be a funny addition to the illustration. Fellow bloggers, what do you think?

Cheers,
Chelsea

  1. I actually like the progression of having both side by side. I'm not sure if in the first one the guy's eyes should be looking straight or at the birds to see what others are tweeting. Maybe even having the birds more dispersed. Then in the second he looks at his phone to type.

  2. Great stuff Chelsea! I agree with the others that the two together work really well. I also agree with what Inga said about the first one, having the birds more dispersed, maybe flying in towards his head about to land on him?

    I can't wait to see it finished!
