Theory
While waiting in line to have my vehicle washed yesterday, I did a quick sketch in semi-blind contour of the car ahead of me going through the car wash. It occured to me that my illustration fit the theme for this week's Illustration Friday word "theory."
Here's the true fact and theory behind getting my car/vehicle washed. Every time I wash my vehicle it ultimately snows or rains right afterwards. It's the weather theory of "I-know you will, so I will". The weather and I don't have a great relationship when it comes to washing my vehicle. Today it is suppose to snow about 1 inch. The dark clouds are looming in the sky. That means I won't make it to work with a clean vehicle again tomorrow as the roads will be covered with sand and salt-it never fails!

I love your little car! Here's my question- How did you get the colors to be so smooth? It doesn't look like watercolor pencil or paint or anything I recognize. Did you run the car through a computer program when you got home??? - Barbara
so cute, and that theory...it's proven!! happens to me every time!!
a : )
Thanks Andi. Sometimes I wonder if my employers don't think I was my vehicle as I park it right by the front door and inevitably it is not always up to snuff. For three years I had to drive it through a construction zone on the way to work and it never looked clean. At that time I had a black car.
I've also tested your theory - and it's absolutely true! Wonderful little drawing.
LOL... a well documented theory!
You find the greatest places in which to sketch :)!
