This is a juxtaposition of haves and have nots, old and new, sleek and cluttered. It is also a sketch of a funky cluster of made up buildings. So… very sophisticated.

Block City Comic
In my experience, you don’t really appreciate how good someone is until you try to do something similar yourself.
Take this comic for instance. I did the actual sketch on paper weeks ago, with the style of Kazu Kibuishi’s, Copper floating around in my head. How hard can it be, right? Coloring everything in on the computer, however, ended up taking a ridiculously long time. I’m not exactly sure why it took so long, but it wasn’t till the end that I began to get any kind of rhythm going. (I totally need a Wacom Tablet!) I’m not even sure I like the final product that much. It was, however, a fun experiment, and a great excuse to draw a cityscape!
