Sketchbook Saturday

Here are some sketches from the Annie Was Warned cover. I start with a bunch of thumbnail sketches.

Then, my editor and art director take a look at the ideas and send me in a good direction. I scan in one of the sketches and play with the color in Photoshop.

Are you ready for Halloween?
