Aglow: Digital painting (Procreate program on an older edition iPad) overtop scanned graphite sketch, 2020. Created for a book cover design project, mock-up shown below.

 
 

I originally painted this piece in greyscale before applying a colour/luminosity layer to get that crisp light edit in the left image. Multiple edits were tested and compared to see what worked best.

The book design mock-up. This stage usually comes closely before confirmation and printing.

 

A brief timelapse gif showing the process of creating the illustration. I was very proud when I learned how to make it.

 
 

The graphite sketch that started it all.

An early stage progress shot that I like a bit more than the rest.
