Impressions of Palm Springs


I recently visited Palm Springs and today I tried to sketch my impressions of the landscape and colors as I took my rental car back to the airport there to return it.

This isn't a realistic representation but rather a fantasy of what it could look like. This is all digital, done in photoshop with a small wacom bamboo brand digital drawing tablet.
