I scanned in the sketch and colored it. This was a big learning day—I’m not thrilled with the final result but I decided it was better to wrap it up and take the learnings into the next illustration. Specifically, I don’t this the color composition is very balanced and there isn’t a clear enough thesis / focal point. Green is notoriously difficult to work with, so that doesn’t help either. The next one I may take a step back and start with greyscale…then take it into color so I know the value structure is solid.

Next coffee shop! I’ll try to get a sketch done. Maybe thumbnail a few different ideas before committing to the first idea.
