Eduardo was a college professor of mine at UNCSA who recently passed away. As a student he would often give us black and white pieces of his work which we could render however we wanted. This helped us both in the craft of rendering and designing a palette, but it also allowed us an in depth study of the design. Zooming in to see each pencil stroke, giving us the understanding of what it takes to be a pro is this industry. This drop is unspeakably detailed and packed full of whimsical joy. Which is carried throughout the design. I could go on forever, but I’ll just say that It was so much fun delving back into the mind of this genius. Miss you friend.
