Fantasy illustration - work in progress
Work for my coming children's and YA fantasy book "Bildbindaren" (in Swedish)
Work for my coming children's and YA fantasy book "Bildbindaren" (in Swedish)
I'm currently working on the illustrations for a fantasy book for children and young adults called Bildbindaren (will be published in October 2012 by Schildts & Söderströms, rough translation of the title to English would be Picturebinder), that I have also written.
The story revolves around the 12-year old girl Lucina, who is transported to a strange land where she has to save the boy Ludvig, the school bully. To do so she must understand the logics of art, magic and powerful minerals.
The technique I'm using is mainly digital drawing, however I also use photographic material and scanned textures (like graphical elements, water colour stains and oil painting).
These images are works in progress, the cover is in its final version, but the inside illustrations will all be in black and white. I'll be adding a new project when the book is printed...

The cover image.
This is one of the first colour images I made for the book, it's an oil painting, made before I decided to make the images digitally.
