The original inks are by Daniel Acuna.

This was most definitely a ‘trust the process’ piece. I chose to abandon natural colors in lieu of something more graphic and pop art. While that in and of itself was out of my comfort zone the buildings are where I struggled the most.

There was very little in the way of spot blacks on the buildings and most of the line weight was kept consistent. This meant that it was up to the colorist to create the illusion of depth through lights and darks, which is something I find challenging.

I’m really glad I stuck with it, though.
