Done! Well, kind of...

After talking to the Author about the setting, I've added the blazing field and contrast to make it a bit ominous. 

Now this is done, I put the words, probably Lorem Ipsum to show how the words would be.

Next part is waiting for the resident proof reader and the writer to give me quotes, reviews, blurbs! 

I made few mistakes with my old book covers where the blurbs and reviews weren't put through to the proof reader first... and that resulted in me going back and forth editing the reviewer's names... that wasn't fun. 

But the Publisher has it now! 

Once I have the words, I'll have to see what colors will work best with the fonts and placement of them.

80% done. 

Work in Progress #2

So here's my progress for the book. 

I had to talk to the writer about the type of (the amazing) tractor in this shot. He told me it's red, and it's 1950-60's Ferguson tractor. 
 

Rough position of the tractor - that looks so out of place right now

You can cal it the field of gold, you can call it the wreath of gold. I call it wow - when can I sleep today?

my hand hurts from the amount of dotting I've done for the wheat. It's not even half way done!! 

Luckily I had a brush with lots of spots - so I think I'll be spared from drawing so many dots in the middle. 

The tractor needs to change - it just doesn't look that great. 

The book itself is very grim, gothic style, so I thought instead of having the glittering gold field, to have the dark, overcast field. 

Work in Progress

Life and work never really goes as planned.

I was set on working on my next children's book with Mike Johnson, and another one with Rory Rackham, but we had a surprise contender who took away the match, the ring and even the bell. 

So, I'm in for a long haul, it's a huge project and I'll be devoting 2016 to it. (It's another children's book)

I'm midst of finishing the work I've promised to do, which is book covers!

Here's my WIP. 

Yes. Isn't this the most gorgeous book cover you've ever laid your eyes on?

Amazing. 

Let's see what happens to this after couple of hours...
