I like this pre-dawn scene from The Really Awful Musicians for its drama. Illustration is just a form of graphic design. Here I’ve used the elements of space, value & texture to get the most juice out of the image. Color, too: the one sliver of orange intruding into the blue-black scene lends a feeling of expectancy for the new day.
