A little over a year ago I set myself the challenge of illustrating a short story I'd written. I've posted some concepts and development of these illustrations before, but now I'd like to share a few of the finished drawings. Most of the drawings below are spreads,...
Though I've been working on a few different projects I can't share much from them yet. So here are some drawings from my personal project, a story of mine that I'm illustrating. I posted some concepts for it back in February (see them here). I began with very loose...
