Process work for The Truth about Unicorns Cover

It's Friday - yay - which means I get to show a little bit of my work-in-progress for the Truth About Unicorn cover.

I initially did three roughs based on an art brief from the art director.



After that and a bit of nit picking here and there, we decided on one particular rough and modified it a little bit.

Then came time for the final work:
a) I did some finished ink work from the final rough

b) Added some watercolour and texture for the hair.

c) Played around with the composition of the trees.

d) Then after some back and forth - voila - instant art.... yes I am summarizing here.
