To the Front! comes out in four weeks on March 1, and I’m getting so excited!
I had some requests to show process, and I thought this would be a great chance to sneak you all into the studio with me. Up first are my early cover concepts. Corn! Window! Trees! Thumbnails like these are just so I can pass an idea to the publisher.
Once we settle on something, I lay out values then push color in slowly at first, building up all those fun complicated color relationships while also bringing in details and refining the composition.
Ask me questions! I’d be happy to tell you more about my process.
