This was the first image I did for my Adobe Illustrator class. The assignment was to draw our mothers so here is mine!
When I first began working on this I had no idea about what setting I wanted to place my mom in. I decided to put a cigarette in her hand although she doesn't smoke. I chose to do this because my mom has many evils and I find it odd that she has yet to pick up smoking so I was curious to see what that would look like. Now, for the background I was considering drawing my dad behind her crying (since he never does I thought that would be funny to see) but since this is my first time using illustrator, I didn't feel I had the ability to produce such a thing. Thus, I made the cigarette smoke coming from my mom depicting all her evils. This includes a slight pill addiction (hence the pills in the smoke), the coors lite, accordingly, as she does love to drink, a TV which I feel is an evil because she can be using her time more productively, and lastly I put calendar rip-off dates implying that she's an everyday 9-5er which entails her life is run by "work,eat,sleep". Kinda depressing.
PS: i did not show her this drawing, it would of broke her lil' heart :( .....(shame on me)
