Excellence in Illustration project: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles

I was inspired by the Japanese atmosphere, so I read several chapters of H. Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
In the first pages, the character was cooking noodles and his cat was lost, so this is the sketch that came out.
I wanted to depict the character still with the cat))

The main material was Adobe Photoshop.
It's a process.

Here I have a finished project, maybe I will finish it, but for now I need a break

And one more color option. I always look for the best option, but sometimes it's hard to find, I like them all.
