Old Nothing

Description

This is a digital illustration made for my intro to illustration class. I was experimenting with textures n' stuff. It's based on a short story about three men talking in a barbershop as they casually sit and watch some guy getting beaten up in the street right outside the window. Trying to illustrate the fact that this guy cares more about his coffee than what's going on behind him. The story is called "Old Nothing" by Cameron Porsandeh if anyone is curious.

Very interesting concept, hightlighting human nature, It reminds me of what I've heard before about how a woman was mugged outside of an apartment complex, she screamed for help but no one came or called the police. The mugger came back a 2nd time and stabbed her as she lay bleeding. People glanced out their windows but did nothing, the mugger came back a 3rd time and finished her off; killing her. Or one time a man was mugged on the side of a busy street, he fell on his face dying from a slow bleeding cut in the stomach (which takes 5 minutes to bleed to death from) while people just walked past stepping over him. One guy even took a picture with his phone then kept walking... But yeah great drawing! If I could give some advice, I'd say have a frame where he slightly perks up from hearing a cry for help, does a half-assed glance behind his back then sort of shrugs and does other facial expression I don't know how to type. Looks down at his hot cup of coffee, grins with delight and takes a long sip. Does that make sense with how I worded it? <<
