Book Cover Illustration

Our current project in the Illustration class I am taking, is about the art of book covers. The assignment is to choose a book of your choice, and re-imagine the cover illustration. I chose "Tithe" by Holly Black, not because it's one of my favorite books, but it has a simple graphic illustration cover. Since the original cover is not a detailed illustration, I'll have a lot of room to play with. I came up with a bunch of thumbnail sketches but I'm narrowing them down to a few and developing them more. Here's one of the finished sketches. Don't mind the negative space on top, it's where the title would be placed.
