The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

[Personal project / alternative book cover]

Lots of experimentation with light, grain textures and contrasting colours. Personal favourite is the alternating cross hatch I attempted on the long coat. I enjoy the outcome so much I'll actually repeat the process on future projects.

Ultimately however, I'm happy with the title treatment as I've drawn it from scratch. Why spend hours on finding the perfect font when you can create your own?
