trimethylxanthine

…

Not really the answer to everything... but I could do with a cup of latte.

Trimethylxanthine= caffeine
and
C₈H₁₀N₄O₂= chemical formula for caffeine.

Since I had a slip of bio in my manga page (with oysters and all that), this one's chem.

+ Another typography/water color practice.

I had no idea how to draw skateboard so forgive me if it looks like a bandage instead of skateboard. I purposefully left out painting his legs since colors didn’t really work.

So… my next few illustrations will have some sort of urban themes in them- or at least my interpretation of them.


Inspirations:
- flying blocks: dotted lines on roads, made with my own custom Photoshop brush
- GY165 from Sozai Jiten (Urban Space Volume, commercial photo stock) where a truck is rushing out from the end of the tunnel. It had bluish tone for that one (which I planned to do so) but it mine is pink.
…
Lighting is not really accurate for this illust.
