art process ✦ painting a book cover illustration

I painted this book cover illustration for Fusion Fragment earlier this year, and just got my contibutor's copy! I love how it turned out and it marked a shift in my color palette, so I wanted to share the painting process - and all the studies, color palette tests, and sketching that came before. So, a simple video to hopefully keep you company while painting or sketching during this busy time of the year! 💙 Shop & Portfolio : https://www.evydraws.com/shop Instagram :   / evydraws   Patreon :   / evelynepark   INPRNT : https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/evybak/ Fusion Fragment : https://www.fusionfragment.com/issues/ ✧ ART MATERIALS ✧ Palette : https://amzn.to/44eNt1G Golden Acrylic Paints : https://amzn.to/3PMGp71 OPEN acrylic paints : https://amzn.to/449lgIu (I mix my OPEN paints with the regular heavy body acrylics for more control over drying time and texture.)
