Description This was an assignment for my illustration class where I had to depict a day in my life in three or more panels. This was by far the most frustrating assignment I've ever had to do simply because it was so open ended.

I went though about 5 different versions of panels, arrangements, compositions, ideas, etc. I couldn't find something that I was satisfied with or that the professor liked remotely at all. But somehow in the end all the pieces fell where they needed to and I was able to come up with something I was somewhat pleased with.

I did the following piece on illustration board, acrylic wash for the background, blue col-erase pencil for the line work and prisma color pencils for the color.

I apologize for the terrible quality of the image but this is the one and only shot I have of my piece that someone took in class at about 90% complete. Currently the piece is being exhibited in Antwerp, Belgium and once I get it back I'll be uploading a hi-res scan.

Good choice I like the final composition you have both elements of Japanese culture and western culture... can you explain this further?
