I designed the cover illustration for “il Confine” Vol.10.

“Il Confine” is an ongoing comic book series by Mauro Uzzeo and Giovanni Masi, published by Sergio Bonelli Editore.

I checked the isolation zone for the book titles before locking the composition.

Then i drafted a lineart version of the image digitally, so I could print it and have it as a reference for the graphite piece.
