The Tobacconist

This is an image responding to a brief et by the folio society. It was to illustrate 3 scenes form the 1940's Albert Camus book 'The Outsider'. Immediately when I read this book I was drawn to this scene and had vision of how it would look in my head. I think the reason this piece was so successful was because I was exited to delve into what my imagination had in mind and how the book painted a picture in my mind. This piece was hand drawn and rendered in photoshop using my own textures.
