March Prompt "Book Cover"

[andersoncarman]

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I love what this book says about art and I really enjoyed working on this cover.

This cover was drawn traditionally in watercolor with digital touch-ups.

@andersoncarman I am happy you switched your colours for the final and your frame is nice addition .

[peteolczyk]

@Squirrelsize that’s brilliant

[peteolczyk]

@Claudi I think that’s a really original take on it. It looks innocent until you see the eyes and the pigs heads.

[Claudi]

@peteolczyk thank you!!

[Chip Valecek]

@Squirrelsize I just downloaded a book template last night to mock up my design. Great minds think alike @hannahmccaffery this is where i grabbed my template. https://covervault.com/

[Heather Boyd]

@Chip-Valecek That's fabulous thanks.

@Squirrelsize Great choice to remove the tree trunk from the back, it flows really nicely. Beautiful work!

@andersoncarman this is amazing. I love how you chose to go traditional on the portrait and then added that streak of paint digitally. It works beautifully.

@Tyler-Hallstrom Beautiful - so vibrant and powerful!

@ShannonB One of my favourite films but I haven't actually read the book yet - I'm usually the other way around. Great work - I like the greyscale, but I would have liked to see a bit more contrast in the hair

[SundayGirl76]

@irwan I love the graphic quality to this, I think it's great. Maybe one bright colour, like bright yellow eyes, would have really lifted it.

[irwan]

@SundayGirl76 Thank you for the feedback, that‘s a good idea, going to try that with colored eyes.

[ShannonB]

@Dima-Eichhorn Thank you so much! I used ink and pen and then scanned it and coloured the hair digitally as I felt a different texture might help it stand out from the background

[ShannonB]

@SundayGirl76 Definitely read the book if you get the chance, it's wonderful, although I do love the movie too! I wrote my college thesis on the book so it has a special place in my heart! Thank you and thanks so much for the feedback, it's really appreciated!

@inkandspatter Hahaha! Thanks, I feel like I kept building it up and then taking some out Simple is better sometimes
