Illustrations

As a fine artist working in digital spaces, I adapted my traditional painting techniques—such as textured brushstrokes and layering—to digital tools like Procreate. The soft, fluid strokes convey movement and intensity, while the sharp contrasts, layered lighting, and shadow work enhance the dramatic tension of the scene.

Through a careful balance of color, contrast, and lighting, the book cover illustration evokes the haunting beauty of Thornfield Hall as it burns. The design not only portrays a pivotal moment in the story but also captures the dark romanticism that defines the novel. This deliberate approach to composition and mood showcases my ability to use illustration as a powerful storytelling tool, engaging viewers and bringing literary themes to life through visual art.
