new orleans bourbon street

sketch for the new orleans street scene (the last gdea assignment).
honestly, I was a little worried because I didn't feel like I could do enough research using books and the internet for Bourbon Street in the 1950s--material is sparse!! D:< it was pretty tough finding images to be inspired by...

so here's a little sneak peek at the colorized version--still need to put in the type and adjust some of the colors..I was working on it till six this morning and it just was not really working for me x_x--still trying to get the hang of using a limited color palettes...
I am trying my hardest not to render and put texture and shadows D:<

ack i forgot to update with a full pic of it!! but here is the finished product! i really wanted to add more detail to it--shadows and textures but it would be a little too overwhelming...but i really want to redo this piece in the style i wanted to do it in!

for the final week, i made some beignets and made a little display in front of my boards---not really the way i wanted it to look like :< but ugh i was running low on sleep! i'll do it again just to put on my blog

 first pass for color--which I know I will have to change because they had a completely different color scheme for that time period... bit I'm trying to do it in David Brum's/ Brun's style :) ughh not having a tablet is a little nerve racking but at least I'll get it back this tuesday so yay!
