Il Confine, Vol.10 cover illustration

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.

For this issue I used a pencil underpainting and coloured it digitally.
This is the final piece:

I started from a digital draft:

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.
