Michael, maybe I said the wrong thing when I said palette, it’s from the swatch library. Thanks guys for your kind comments.

Beautiful illo! Love the variation in line thickness, and the colors are perfectly chosen and very vibrant. Very nice! =)

I like the colours, like the end of a very hot day. I imagine Melbourne to be a place with the best mix of everything from this picture… the hedonistic busy city contrasted with the tranquility of secluded beaches. Hmmm nice stuff.

The colors are indeed very harmonious! I really like the sweeping lines of the shore and the bathing boxes against the horizontal plane of the tall buildings. Great contrast!

Melbourne is one of my favourite cities and a place I don’t mind spending the rest of my life in. And looking at your charming picture confirms it!
