Arabella and the Angry Chef

I was going through one of my sketchbooks from last year when I ran into the planning sketches for this picture.

as you can see I originally had planned to illustrate the whole room. But, due to my teachers insistence, I only focused on Arabella in the final.

And then we have this...

a doodle so obviously inspired by Ratatouille that Pixar is already sending me cease and desist letters:
I imagine the situation is that this guy came to apply at a fancy New York town house for the position of private  chef, and instead they decided to hire him as a baby sitter.

He is so angry.

also, this marks the return of sketchbook posts that actually look like they came from my sketchbook.

groovy huh?
