Illustrating my Altered Art book Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"
Well, I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted on my blog. It's slow going on my altered art book, but I am making progress. I'm posting a small detail of the 12th stanza, but am currently working on the 13th. I only have 5 more to go! This book is a labor of love. It's painstaking to have to work so slowly because moonlighting is really the only time I can illustrate. Just have to take it step by step! Onward!

How you have made that raven really look like he's saying, "Never more" is beyond me!! I also love his eyes ... they even look accusatory. Not sure if that was what you were going for but the raven is definitely speaking. The way the shading and color is moving into the picture is fun to watch. It's like watching something come slowly to life.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you can only "moonlight" on it ... but it seems appropriate when it comes to Poe somehow ... the hours of darkness ... when the house is all quiet and still. Maybe it's more inspiring than you know.
Keep up the good work ... it certainly is worth it.

Thanks Lois! It is definitely a challenge, but I am slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! :)
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about working at night, never thought of it that way :)
