My Art Process for the Phases of this Cover Illustration
The Sketch
Element hired me to do the cover art for an English language text book.
– the idea is that by learning English you become more free to pursue whatever you want.
– that more doors are open to those who speak and understand English. And probable to those who know how to read and write English as well.
My client wanted me to illustrate some of the buildings in the shape of letters to further the language angle.
SEPARATE BACKGROUND Can be Used Multiple Times
I was asked to paint the background separate from the foreground so they can use it for other covers that we are currently working on.
Adding ELEMENTS
This is a challenge because as I’m painting it’s hard to control values and colors but here they are combined.
Final Cover Art
This is the final illustration, by me, Will Terry, with the cover graphics. Turned out pretty well.
