What is the Story

Something I keep forgetting when I'm sketching for fun is to "draw with a PURPOSE!" and to keep in the back of my mind the question "what is the STORY?!" It happened here where I just started drawing a little bit of cheesecake-pinup on a blank background and thought "man... am I just drawing another cute girl staring at the camera? NO! What is she doing? Where is she? What is she thinking?" And from there the scene evolved into this here sketch. These are basic animation (and general) drawing tips, and while sometimes we can get lazy while we're doodling, it's best to keep hammering them in!
