cover artwork

so for the assignment, we have to produce a cover illustration using illustrator. kind of a scary and daunting task at first, but i think after amy has taken us through week by week, learning new techniques and illustrator skills, it is doable.

here is the original image that im working from. bambi northwood blyth.
layer one - blocking of body shapes, shading and facial features.
layer two - the garment plus some detailing, shadow etc.
layer three - hair and head details. i think hair is one of the hardest things to get right on illustrator! still not completely happy with mine.
all layer together - have to do a bit more work, adding more shading and depth, also creating a more interesting background.

i have also found my photographer - one that i have loved for along time!! HEIDI SLIMANE.
