Letter ghost concept sketches and main illustration

Letter ghost concept sketches and main illustration


I've decided to use a different colour palette for the main illustration of the 'Letter Ghost'.

Instead of cold blues, which I've used before to colour two of the previous illustrations of the tailor shop ghost and frozen rosie, I've used a dull, earthy brown palette. 

The story of the letter ghost is that she was very bitter and angry but plain and reserved while she was alive so I've tried to show that through the dull browns I've used.

In the main illustration, I've included different paper textures to represent the hateful letters the ghost sent while she was alive.
