Hero's Oasis?

Hey all! I've finally finished my value study for my Robin Hood book cover illustration, the banner at the bottom is a place for the author's name, I've designed my own calligraphy for the title, and I'll be finishing that as well as painting this piece in Corel Painter X over the next two weeks. This final piece is 15"x21" (to scale for a 5"x7" book cover) created in pencil on Strathmore Layout Bond paper.

Progress

I've been working on a book cover illustration for class this week, Robin Hood!

I'm working on the grayscale value comp, in pencil on layout bond paper, right now, and really pleased with it so far :)

Here's what I have right now:

Still a ways to go...

In the back is the craziest looking tree I saw at the park last week, I did a study for it because I knew it would come in handy for something :)

Hello ^-^

I guess I'll start with a little about me..

My name is Haley Morrison, I'm currently an Illustration student at the Academy of Art University, I'll be graduating this December, yay!!!

So I've created this blog to share some of my work, share some helpful tips and links for my fellow artists and designers, and maybe even inspire someone. I'll try to keep this pretty up to date with what I'm currently working on and post some things I've done in the past too just for funsies ;)

Hope someone enjoys it :)
