Oof.
I have such admiration for artists like Geoff Darrow and Katsuhiro Otomo. I can draw people all day, but cityscapes wipe me out.
Hard Boiled is one of my favorite graphic novels, but I have to wonder what kind of mental state it takes for a dude to spend that much time drawing meticulous buildings and cars. I'd love to see Darrow's studio or watch him work.
Here's a panel I was working on today, from CHE LA, featuring a ramshackle future downtown Los Angeles.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make bacon tacos and watch
Dust to Glory with my lady.
