Hmmm...where to begin? I started drawing a figure, only having a vague idea of what I was doing. I wanted to make a weird lanky female with really long, blonde hair, and I wanted to keep the composition really simple. I decided I would use only a few colors - pale yellow for hair, pale purple for the body, and either light gray or white in the background. But somewhere along the way I turned the figure into what now appears to be a male with an incredibly long forehead wearing a sleeping bag and walking on a green pasture with the pattern of my pajama pants in the background...hmmm....I changed the colors of the arms from a dark maroon color to the current teal/blue and also added the harlequin-like diamond pattern in select areas.

Here's a close-up of the face, which I find hilarious for some reason - such determination! Such a giant forehead! Created with Staedtler permanent marker, gouache, watercolor, pencil, and colored pencil.
