PROCESS NOTES
Umbrellas are so cool, and so hard to draw and make sense while you are drawing them.
The first one came out bad so I went hard on the architectural underdrawing on the second one.
Color-wise, it’s a neon marigold aka LUMINOUS YELLOW from Holbein and the electric blue from Dr. Ph. Martin. I framed it with UV class but this is a potentially fleeting color story.
