The Falling Star

     “The Falling Star” is one of the most famous books by one of the most recognizable writers, H.G. Wells. As one of the many people whose life has been enriched by this book, I aimed to illustrate a book jacket to honor the impact it has had for many of us. Taking inspiration from one of the earlier chapters, I set up to illustrate a scene full of mystery and intrigue, with a dash of fear. I initially used a tradition medium, watercolor, then transition to a digital illustration using Adobe Photoshop.
