The Source of Happiness

Here was my thought process during this illustration:

OK, I need to try out some of these new Copic sketch markers.

I'm going to draw this cool guy smoking. OK, he looks cool and he is smoking, check. What will be be doing? He'll be working on something. Fine. He'll be bent over his desk, hard at work.

He'll be concentrating REALLY hard on painting something. A figurine? A model car? Some sort of hand-lettered type? Maybe he should be lettering "LOL WUT?"

Nah, he's working on his new masterpiece, the representation of pure happiness.

So, I give you the man who invented the smiley face.

Note: I did not bother to research the creator of the smiley face. Don't judge me!
