This happy lady was drawn for a friend's school project (same project as this lady). She is using a bagless vacuum to suck up an Ed Hardy-like shirt (more specifically, the gear of a douche bag). The reason she is "floating" inside the composition is because she was an asset to be placed in a different design. But even in my sketchbook, the original marker drawing is still floating on its own...no context whatsoever. Much of my early criticism from the professor of my first college drawing class was that I didn't ground my figures and/or give them a context. I overcame that obstacle, but now in my post-college days, I find myself reverting back to it again. No more deadlines or assignments for grounded context, so guess it's out the window.
