the family dinner // created 2024-04-11
drawn in colored pencil and slight value editing in clip studio.
consider an analogy. a wolfdog is neither dog or wolf. it's not predictable, and if you've only ever raised dogs, you will have trouble. because you aren't treating it like what it is. it's not a dog, and it's not a wolf. so what are you supposed to do? what if you don't want to admit you don't understand your child?
you pretend.
(ignore the fact that those are pancakes which are more of a breakfast thing.)

a colored pencil of a brown mutt with a neckerchief seated at a dinner table. they are sitting on a wooden chair with pillows on it, and laid out in front of it are delicious pancakes with syrup poured over them. despite this luxury, the dog looks perturbed and uncomfortable. in the background is a varnished wooden plank wall with photographs of a forest, two dogs hugging, and solid gray. another plate of pancakes and a salt shaker are silhouetted in the foreground.
