I am working on a variant cover for Pinesport Divide, a great book by Charles Matthews. Here is the pencil layout for Leara. Next up traditional inks with a brush and then color in Photoshop.
Here is the colored version. Traditional line drawing with india ink on bristol board and colored with Photoshop. Still playing around with background color. May have to change things up a little if I use this image on the cover. Interior artwork will all be black and white. This is from the upcoming book Karate Dottie and the Alien Menace
Here is what is currently on my desk. This is the first image released from the upcoming book Karate Dottie and the Alien Menace and first appearance of Charlie. That crazy looking helmet is...you guessed it, the alien. Next up is inks. The book is scheduled to be out in late summer and I am working hard to get it out on time. In the meantime, if you haven't heard of Karate Dottie, head over to Amazon and pick up a copy of Karate Dottie and the Treacherous Treehouse!
