Eva Unit 01 Berserk Sunset (Digital)

This was originally done in August 24, 2018.

I’ve been practicing drawing from imagination, at least the form and main idea. For details I still need references since a lot of what I draw has very specific … well … details.

so I went with this color scheme, and yet in my mind I had the sunset scene in my head. So I tried to see how it would look with darker blue hues first.

After some thought I decided to go with the sunset scene instead.
