classical book covers in paper cutting
This series of book covers was made using the papercut technique (in which drawings are created from cutouts on paper), collage, watercolor, gouache and digital finishing.
In this project I combined my knowledge of design and illustration
in the area that most enchants me: editorial.

CREATION PROCESS
Then, I start drawing on paper and cutting out the forms. Finally, in the end, I paint the characters. After the art on paper is ready, I photograph it, to better capture the effects of light and shadow, and treat the photo in Photoshop, correcting the imperfections of the cuts and adding some texts digitally.
The process begins with a research for references and the creation of some thumbnails in a sketchbook, which will define the general lines of the cover layout. Then I choose the papers I will use, observing the combinations and contrasts between the colors, trying to match the concept and the story of the book.
