Description
Okay, before you freak out about Schatzi's toes, here's the story behind it. When they were a lot younger, Evelle would have Schatzi over a lot because his father sucked a whole lot, so she'd hide him at her house. To cheer him up, they'd sit up all night and watch horror movies, and she'd paint his toenails citrus colors while they were watching the movies. It stuck for a long and even though she rarely paints her own toenails anymore, she still does his because I suppose it means something now. Schatzi is comfortable enough with himself that pretty toenails do not bother him, and he has gotten quite used to it. This time she painted his toes orange - his favorite color.I used a mix of prismas and tria markers to color it and a Sharpie to ink it. It's done on regular paper. Yay. The markers came out okay. I learn everytime! Wooo! Enjoy!!

Sweet, I adore the pose and the girl, Shatzi. Something in her expression makes me really happy, and I love her outfit. And the boy's cool too.

About the toes....I thought it was going to be about how he could bend it like so or something. xD
I read through some of the comments...I don't understand why you would say you can't draw girls. hehe, I wish I could draw guys half as well as you do. xD
But I love the story behind the picture. You just don't see much of those things now....or just the artist doesn't say anything.

Awww, thank you! I'm glad you like the story behind it, I think that's half the fun.
I like to bend my toes that way too, but they're not nearly as long. D:

Nice story to go along with this.. hehe.. painted toenails. I never see original little sidestories like this anymore.
And I will never figure out how you can color with markers. I just can't get out of the streaky look.
