here are some of my very first sketches of the close enough characters from when i started my first job on the show back in 2019! whenever i start on a new show i always draw the characters a bunch to memorize them and get comfortable drawing them. i think it took me the longest to get candice and josh right, and getting good at quickly drawing eyes that touch but not overlap or have a gap (as you can see by these sketches haha!)
Close Enough is coming to HBOmax on july 9th! i was a revisionist on this show and had a really incredible time with a lot of really lovely people i’m so excited for it to come out!
It’s come to my attention that a good portion of the younger generation has not been made aware of one of the greatest and most hated PILLARS of millennial society.
So I apologize, but I must take on this task. A new hand must touch the beacon. The knowledge must be passed on. The chain can not be broken.
So.
The Game.
The following are the rules of The Game:
there is no winning The Game
once you know of The Game, you are always playing the game
the point of The Game is to not think about The Game
if you think about The Game, you have lost The Game, and must announce this to those around you - causing them to also lose The Game
A “reset period” of roughly an hour or two before loss announcements is common in colloquial rules to allow yourself and those around you to properly temporarily “forget” about The Game, however that is not an official rule.
