Likeness Cover, Final

Hi everyone,
Things have been busy. Over the past couple months I got a job at the Seattle Blick Art Supplies, I am periodically taking online classes through Tutormill, I have set up a page on theispot, and my boyfriend and I got a dog, Jefferson. Unsurprisingly, the blog was pushed to the very bottom of my to do list. I will be posting lots of new art over the next week or two as I catch up.

Now, on to the art.
The reimagined Likeness cover is finished, yay! I completed the final in Photoshop and Painter, protecting the integrity of the drawing while letting me experiment with creating a mood through a limited palette.

Likeness Cover

Lately, I have focused on creating a few book covers. This piece is a cover image for the Likeness by Tana French. The drawing began as a study in an oversized sketchbook; however the unrehearsed line work reminded me of my personal sketches (something I've wanted to bring to my illustrations) so I'm using it as a final drawing. The illustration will most likely be executed in acrylic, gouache and ink.
