"Pick up a pencil?"

Prompt disclosure

A simple, thickly outlined chibi anime illustration of a cute little white creature. The creature has long black pill-shaped eyes, no mouth, and no nose. The face is alike to bomberman or Hello Kitty in its simplicity. This creature is 80% a perfect sphere, and 20% simple white legs with simple feet, no toes nor distinct shoes. More alike to the legs of a smurf. It has no arms, no hands, and no torso. This image is two panels. In the first panel, the creature looks down at an oversized yellow #2 wooden pencil with curious wonder. The second panel is nearly identical, but the creature looks at the viewer or directly head on, and has a speech bubble overhead, where the comic like typeface reads "Well, I don't have any hands, so..."

Artist statement

This is a simple little comic of the decommissioned AI generated mascot of r/music, fondly adopted and given the name "Mook" by the r/DefendingAIArt community. His original design lacked hands and arms, so, when confronted with the demand to "pick up a pencil" as many AI artists are, he finds that to be quite difficult.
