MATT TAYLOR CASE STUDY

Sussex-based illustrator Matt Taylor has recently completed a Little White Lies cover illustration for the magazine's Filth issue

Matt began by compositing a screengrab of the main actor's face taken from the film's trailer with a photo of Matt's own hands to create the visual reference he needed for his composition. 

He then proceeded to work up an original sketch

And then a combination of the final pencils with sketching out ideas for the lighting

The final image successfully manages to achieve Matt's goal for the cover which was "to convey the manic intensity and claustrophobic nature of the journey of the lead character, but also try and get across with his expression that this is a pitch black comedy, and not deadly serious."
