The theme, this week, is: Jazz.
I made a bunch of sketches with pen on paper. I choose this one, scanned and imported in photoshop, then colored. I added also some effects.
When finished, I tried several settings on exporting... and I found quite interesting the second version, wich is a 4-color gif.

Both these have that boozy, smokey atmosphere of a jazz club. Great atmosphere to these illos.
