Designing a book jacket for Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book. I've been really inspired by Dave McKeans illustrations for this and coincidently he did some of the illustrations for the Graveyard Book. I really love his images with ink sketches laid over textured backgrounds. That's what I had in mind for my jacket, but hmm... still trying to work it out. It's all been a complete experiment so far! I tried doing an acrylic textured background but it's too bright and 'loud' for the inked image. So now I've done a separate painting using bright food colouring and laid textures over that... but I'm still not sure about it. This is what I've got so far.. let's see how the rest goes.
