Rogaine Foam Contemplations

Meditation and hair, or a lack of it!



This image was requested by the ever talented, Mike! Mike is from Texas and is a dear friend of mine. We have known each other since high school and I know that I can always count on Mike if I ever need anything. This particular old man is a well revered taekwondo master and is currently practicing his meditation, like he does ever morning, to prepare his students to take the taekwondo oath. 

During his meditations, he often reflects back on his life before he lost his hair, as male patterned baldness is very prevalent in more and more men, he considers the possibilities of using rogaine foam's hair growth supplement to attempt to grow back his hair, but he knows that his hair will never be the same beautiful locks he used to have. Until then, he accepts his balding fate and continues training his students. 

Thanks Mike for the awesome drawing idea! If you want to see your drawing realized comment below, and I'll do my best to draw it for you. If you want to keep your request a secret, feel free to email me at mspaintatwork@gmail.com! Until next time. - Sarah

Desert Nights

Spicing up a desert is tough work

Drawing deserts in general is tough work, but I always enjoy a challenge. This picture was requested by my friend Chris, who has suggested my previous masterpieces such as Kangaroos Can't Swim and The Blues Brothers which are also some of my first masterpieces. Chris requested a man camping in the desert. He was worried it would be too boring, but I don't often draw landscape images, so I decided to take his request. And he is a good friend, so I wouldn't want to disappoint him. I decided to use red tones in this particular desert because every desert I've seen (of the very few I've seen) has very iron-rich soil, making everything around it have an orange/red tint. I know most of these colors are looking more purple than red, but you have to remember it's nighttime, so everything at night is a darker color than how you would normally see it. The man camping is laying out underneath the stars. I imagine he is doing some deep thinking, most likely contemplating his navel. Thank you Chris for this challenging image. 

Don't forget you can send me a drawing request to MSPaintAtWork@gmail.com. Things are really starting to slow down at work, so please give me something to do with your wonderful drawing ideas.
