I created and developed this minimalist urban-themed digital artwork entirely using Affinity software. The illustration depicts a lone figure standing on a sidewalk, gazing at a row of towering skyscrapers from a rear perspective. Through this visual, I wanted to explore the contrast between the small human figure and the imposing, cold dominance of the city’s architecture.

During the creation process, I relied on the Pen Tool to craft the outlines and sharp vector lines of the buildings. I also incorporated the Fill Tool to apply contrasting color accents—such as neon green—and utilized layer management to keep the workflow organized across the foreground character, the background buildings, and the street line details.

To be honest, I am not usually someone who is particularly into design, yet strangely enough, I really love the outcome of this project and feel a great sense of satisfaction. There is a unique gratification in seeing a simple idea and a casual experiment come to life as a cool visual piece with its own distinct vibe.
