'The boy made his way through the still sleepy streets, which were only then beginning to awake. Sounds and smells slowly danced through the buildings, stealing out from narrow side lanes and darkened passages. The last remnants of night, crisp damp air and cool inky shadows hung low in the town and upon the rooftops there began to shine the bright light of dawns steady rising.'

Thumbnails
One of the thumbnails I did while working on the composition, this was the one I more or less went with in the end.
Sketch of the central character I did when trying to get a better handle on who this image was based around.
Pencil sketch, beginning to add the details.
Linework with fineliner pen.
Watercolouring, used some gouache here and there to change texture.
Editing / tweaking in Photoshop.
A version of the image that I edited quite a bit, but probably a bit too much. Still fun to add so much atmopshere to it though! c:
Cluck cluck!
Someone's watching.
