Below is a Turtles cover illustration that I made as a part of a project for a class. It was created with ink on hot press bristol and I remember being really happy with how it turned out. I tried adding colors multiple times to the illustration at various points in 2015 and 2016 but was never pleased with the results. Digital coloring was still pretty new to me at the time and I hadn't grown comfortable or confident with it yet.

Below is my most recent attempt at coloring the illustration. In 2020 my coloring skills are finally at a place where I can usually color my art in a satisfying way. It's fun revisiting these older illustrations with my current skillset and breathing new life into them through color.
