From my portfolio

A not-quite-finished piece from Illustration II.




And oh my, how Blogger messed with my colors. Anyway, this was a cover for a children's book about reading. I don't quite remember the title, so that whole area- image behind title and type itself- is unfinished. I have to dig up the assigment sheet.

My process: develop sketch on plain paper, transfer to gessoed gatorboard (amazing, get some gatorboard and gesso it); watercolor (it naturally does that pattern/texture); scan and fidget with levels digitally; type on top.
