Description Stephen King!
Book Cover Illustration for a biography of a famous person. Done for Illustration Techniques with Elaine Verstrae (Fall 2008).

Media:
Colored Pencil

Size: Done on a 30" by 20" I think?

In retrospect I wish the whole piece (clothing and background) were executed in the way I did the face (which I love!). But alas I think working large with colored pencil had something to do with the lack of detail back there.....If done now months later I'd color that background so much different....

I agree with your own assessment, although having the background be so subdued really makes the face pop out at you.

It's good to see some of your school work, reminds me of the good ol days in high school with Ms. Norkus.

Looks great!
