"Lima Nights" Book Review-L.A. Times

Over the holidays, I got asked to do a last minute illustration for the L.A. Times book review.
Here is a little bit of the process sketches and the final illustration, the book is "Lima Nights" about a man who has an affair with a professional dancer.

The first round was rejected because it concentrated on the sexuality too much. (I usually do 3 sketches, but I'm using one for a future piece)



They wanted something more with the sexual tension and the tango.



The final piece...

Thanks to Judy Pryor for the assignment.
