Cover Art in Progress


So I mentioned to those who are part of my mailing list that I am working on a cover illustration.  The book is being self published through Amazon.  The author and I are very excited!

It's a large illustration that will be a wrap cover (left part on back, right part on front of book).

I've applied a few application techniques taken from Stephanie Law's book when it came to the environment.  I always have a hard time explaining bushes and leaves in my paintings.  Her technique shined some light on ways I can problem solve it.

My hope is to have it done this week, so I'll post the finished illustration once I'm done!  Can't wait!

*NOTE: Brian and I went horseback riding for our one year anniversary, which has helped me place myself more in the elves' shoes. Pretty nifty.
