Sketch It Out
Today was a quiet day, but Mischief wanted to mind their own business for once. They had an idea and they wanted to do it. He opens his sketchbook and starts sketching something out.
A composition, something big and grand. Something that would require a canvas and some paint. This was a draft, for sure, but then...

Stop that.

Wh—Hey!
...A certain sinner reveals that she had been watching him the whole time, even before he took out and started drawing.

Sinner #28
What's the big idea, huh?! I'm not here to listen to your art critiques!

Ryōshū
Sinner #4
G.A.C?

Mischief
Sinner #28
...I guess not.
Giving up easily, Mischief folds his arms and looks away as the painter stares at the sketch with careful, observing eyes. Then, flicking her pencil, she looks to the empty page next to the original and begins to make an identical concept. As she does, his eyes glance and his mouth runs.

You've got a lot of balls bothering an artist who could bonk you on reflex.

Ryōshū
Sinner #4
Yet you didn't.

I could've, you know! Last thing I want is us causing another scene!

Ryōshū
Sinner #4
Cause a scene? You're going to, if you don't quiet down. Now, look.
She presents the exact same drawing, with several corrections and notes surrounding it. Where normally there would be some harsh words from someone like Ryōshū, instead laid out some genuine advice.
Overall, it was to piece everything together. She had no intention to ruin the work.

Huh...

So...Okay, hold on.
Mischief starts to erase sections and redraw them, with the other sinner still watching.

The perspective would require a certain angle where you need a photographic reference.

And then this arm would need to be posed differently to make it less stiff...

Ryōshū
Sinner #4
Fix that eye.

Mischief
Sinner #28
I can't, it's an eye! You know how eyes are. One never listens and the other always does...

Y.C.D.I.

Mischief
Sinner #28
Yeah, you're right. I'm no quitter.
After many corrections, Mischief holds up the drawing, now impressed with the revised work. Ryōshū pats his shoulder, chuckling.

See? Told you.

Mischief
Sinner #28
This...actually does look a lot better. Uh...thanks, Ryōshū.

Mischief
Sinner #28
All I gotta do is find the money for some good paint.

Ryōshū
Sinner #4
Fine. Let's go find a ruffian with nothing better to do. I'll make it Q.A.E.

...Your definition of quick and easy is mugging people?!
With that, the two of them set the sketchbook aside and walk off, the other sinners turning their heads with confusion.
