Kid Rock for Entertainment Weekly

Last week I did some drawings for Entertainment Weekly’s fall music preview - a great gig. One of the first one’s I finished was of Kid Rock, but his new album was pushed back so the illustration was killed.
Above is the work I did by hand, below is the final art with some extra digital coloring. I like to work by hand where I can, but easy-editing makes digital my method of choice for most commercial work (coloring anyway). The colors in my palette were sampled from the layout by my art director, Michael Schnaidt, which you’ll see shortly!

The issue comes out tomorrow so I’ll post some more from the series then.
