[That chick's 85 grams of fuzzy, yellow dynamite!] A friend showed me a shopping list where instead of putting down "choc chips" (chocolate chips), she had accidentally typed "chic chops" and kept it because it sounded funny. That got me thinking and conjured this image.

This was all done by hand, no computers. I drew a few very quick and rough sketches to try to figure out how I could fit the face and the headband, and if it should be a front or side view. Then it was a pencil sketch, inked with a pen, and colored with some "brush markers" a friend gave me a while back, and then scanned in. Given that it was only a couple hours, I'm happy with the results and more importantly, it amuses me. The full-size version of the scan is here. images/Drawings/Sketches/chickchop-sm.png
