Going to quit my job and become an artist

I was doing research at the Pfalzgalerie for my Art History class and made a quick sketch of Carl Spitzweg's painting, Zeitungsleser im Hausgarten (newspaper reader in the garden).

Original:



Carl Spitzweg, Zeitungsleser im Hausgarten, ca. 1860.

 

Around the Wherever, Study of Zeitungsleser, 2013.

I think this sketch shows incredible talent and I should quit my day job and become an artist.


Or not.
