I have had an idea for the cover of the book pretty much since we started this unit.
I want to show a semi-accurate display of the vascular system in the forearm, expressing the damage done to the veins from heroin abuse.
I made a point of my piece NOT looking like an anatomical drawing as this would not fit with the style I will show throughout the rest of my work.
I also don't want the piece to have any kind of "shock horror erughh look at those scabs" quality.
I want my viewers to notice the wounded veins but not be distressed by them, representative of the outlook of the characters taking heroin...They are aware of the damage they are doing to their bodies, but are having too much of a 'good time' to really care.
So Ill try to keep a composition thats fun, and nice to look at.. whilst also going into slightly crude detail on the more sensitive parts of the piece (the veins).
Below are the processes and steps I have taken so far in tackling this obstacle...
