Description As promised, the last drawing for #rodyaweek .  

I absolutely adored working on this one. I used almost the same technique as with my earlier Ballad of the Windfish , which means: watercolors as a basic underpainting over the sketch, and then go over it with colored pencils. The perspective was quite hard to get right, especially that door. I've colored so much over it that I can't see anymore if it's correct or not. But I love the outcome of this little painting!

I made some photographs in-between steps, anyone would like to have a tutorial on my coloring technique? 
I've made a tutorial on my coloring technique, which can be found here !

You've caught the mood from the book perfectly! I've only had a vague idea of the layout off his room, but now I'll always think of it like this!

Why thank you! For the room layout I was heavily inspired by the Russian film adaption from 1969, by the way.

You've inspired me go looking for the film now! I just checked Youtube, and there's a whole host of 'Crime and Punishment' related videos I've not seen - I always forget to look there for some reason!

You should totally watch the film! I love Georgi Taratorkin's Raskolnikov!
Whenever I finish a book or game TV Tropes is always the first place to go XD

A tutorial would be very nice.
The work has some cold but somehow warm atmosphere. I like that how you shaded the blanket, it looks so bumpy. And I think the door is just fine, even if it were a bit tilted compared to the wall. That's just fits it, making it look older and not so fancy.

Thank you!

I intended the colors to be more cold than warm, actually, but my ground layer became very orange-pinkish so I went with it. It's supposed to be an hot summer anyway. And you're right, in such an old garret a crooked door might be the best door.

Tutorial is on it's way.

Oh wow, the coloring is just beautiful!  I love the shades you used- it reminds me of some famous artist but I can't think of which one

Lovely piece of work. The colours are warm and tonal, blending beautifully.
