Illustration Friday: Homage
This is a homage that I did to M.C. Escher back in college. I have always been inspired by his work. His attention to detail, amazing precision, and complex compositions have always amazed me.
Mixed-media: Graphite sketch, colored in Illustrator, composed in Photoshop.

Nice work. Escher would be proud! I’ve always been drawn to his work, probably as a result of my engineering mind.
