So i decided on the jacket/necklace image as my reference for the front cover.
I think this is much more better than my first reference image because I used lots of symbols to create the necklace and I think that the necklace stands out and shows off this technique.
For the face, hair and jacket, I used the pen tool and colour blocked the foundations. I added shadows in and blurred it. I used these techniques because I wanted them to play a part in the background without losing any colours. The blurring technqiue has allowed the eye to be focused on the bolder, solid necklace to be the main feature. I didnt want to include eyes in the illustration because I usually believe that facial featues attract someone's first attention, so having no eyes has challenged the audience to be attracted to something else first.
