Reflections in a puddle

Rainy day

The rain these days inspired today's post, an illustration with contrasting tones, gray on the sidewalk, but vivid when reflected in the puddle.

Reflections of a man in a puddle

The illustration was first inked with sepia 0.1 multiliner.

The set of colors used is quite full-bodied:

  • C1, C3, C5, C7 and BG72 for flooring
  • C5 and C7 for the boy's pants
  • RV00, RV02, Y02 and C3 for shoes
  • BV11, BV13, BV17 for cherry logs and pants reflected in the puddle
  • RV00, RV02 and RV55 for cherry blossoms.
  • Y02, RV00 and RV02 for the raincoat
  • Y00, Y02, YR12 and YR23 for fish
  • BG000, BG70, B01 and B02 for the sky

A few touches of Opaque White complete the illustration.
