Commissioned |
ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
I was asked by the publisher to create a book cover + lettering for an existing novel (written by Tae Keller) for the German book market.
I love painting tigers and I love including the lettering into my illustrations, so this commission was a dream project.
How was the illustration used: Book cover for a youth novel published by Dragonfly
How did you make this work: Mixed media (Ink, Acrylic and Photoshop). I used handpainted illustrations for background and textures and painted the tiger and the lettering in Photoshop.
