You're all horrible.

Description

Kaz leaned back. "What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?"
"Knife to the throat?" asked Inej.
"Gun to the back?" said Jesper.
"Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina.
"You're all horrible," said Matthias

~ Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo

Anyone else read Six of Crows? Please tell me there's someone out there! (And click on the image to make it clearer if it's blurry, I think)
If you haven't, read it! (Even if it's only to find out the rest of what happens in this scene - the best way to steal a man's wallet ;) )

I love this scene :') Matthias is so awesome!
So the colours are meant to reflect their personality -
Inej is sort of mysterious - the spy - and if you know her backstory, you'll know that she's been hurt, so I went with purple
Jesper... sigh, I have no idea why I picked green. It wasn't gonna be yellow, because that's such a Wylan colour XD And red was definitely Nina. Kaz was, of course, gonna be black. So I went with green, maybe because it usually represents money and Jesper and money are... well, you know :)
Nina, being a Heartrender (and because of the fact that she's always the pretty girl who lures in the mark) was red
And Matthias is Matthias - he just had to be blue!

I feel like I may have (majorly) messed up Jesper, but eh, what can I do? I blame it on the fact that I did this using just the free version of Autodesk Sketchbook, without a huge range of tools or the ability to create more  than 1 layer :D So let's pretend that's why it's not that great. I'M SORRY JESPER, KNOW THAT I REALLY DO LOVE YOU :'(

Idk why I drew half of Kaz XD It just started out with his face, and then I decided to draw him leaning back on a chair because...well, the first sentence of the quote :) And then, I thought I'd add in his cane, and damn, that was fun to draw - next thing I knew, I had all of him except his shoes!

(And sorry about the handwriting - especially if it goes wonky! Let's blame that on the tools too ;) )
