“For this book cover illustration, my focus was on establishing a modern, high-quality aesthetic while retaining a hand-painted feel.”
For this book cover illustration, my focus was on establishing a modern, high-quality aesthetic while retaining a hand-painted feel. I used a technique that combines soft brush lines with layered, semi-transparent watercolor style brushes. This blend creates a unique combination of traditional illustration charm with clean, modern design principles.
