WIP Book Cover "Long, Broad and Sharpsight"
-
This is looking great Michaela, the characters on his shoulders look brilliant! One thing i'd look at is lowering the first hill a bit so it's not so close to his body?
-
@hannahmccaffery Hi Hannah, thank You for teh feedback. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: , I already lowered the first hill, but only little, I will try to lower it more

Last Version, not it is clean sketch...what to do, afraid to start with color
-
@MichaelaH Love the composition! I can't wait to see color!
-
@MichaelaH I like how the foot is breaking the border. I also like how you placed the type. As far as color I would just start to throw local color on and play around with it. I see a lot of cool colors for the background and warm colors on your character. It will help pop them off the screen.
-
@Chip-Valecek Thank You for the feedback with the colors, it helps me a lot.
-
I am still not finished, have to work on some project , but my colored illustration progress here:
-
Cooool
I would make his trousers a different colour though, like dark red or purple or something so you break up all the green great stuff! -
@hannahmccaffery Thank You Hannah, I will look at it.
-
So finished.
-
@MichaelaH If I saw a book with that cover, I would pick it up
-
@Squirrelsize Thank You so much.
-
I have made three other black white accompanying illustrations for my portfolio.
-
@MichaelaH These are so nice! I think, along with the cover, this project will make a great portfolio piece!:smiling_cat_face_with_open_mouth:

Thank You Mag, Are You coming to Bologna Book Fair this year?
-
@MichaelaH unfortunately not, we were planning to though, but you know, something came up and we had to change our plans. That’s how life works.
but I really want to go next year.
Will you be there? -
@mag Ohhh
I would love to meet you, but next year Mag :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: -
@MichaelaH I hope so! Have fun there, I was at Bologna only once, in 2014, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Back then, I worked in a publishing house as creative manager, so I looked at the whole thing with a different eye, but still, it was great and I hope to be there again.
