Trouble outside the Yat Ma Fair-Trade Cafe

This is not the most beautiful illustration I've done, but I liked the process. Started in a bad mood drawing one of my unhappy faces. Then added the other faces (I don't know how they're holding the dog), and the background, and now it suggests a story. Haven't totally figured out that story, and don't know if I'll get around to writing it (I've been terribly blocked with stories for a while), but it's fun to invent and embellish like this.

Pictures suggest stories, sometimes, and stories often make pictures more interesting, making it more than two figures standing there.

I also had fun playing a bit with photoshop on the background. Haven't totally learned about this, and of course it's cheating, because the drawing was done originally all with pencils. But they're all tools, and it's good to practise them.

Below is a Toyota Echo belonging to one of my neighbours. I doubt if I could even fit into the thing.
