In this two part tutorial on creating the “Let’s Go To Monster School!” book cover, we’ll show you a complete process from initial sketch to the final artwork, using an Illustrator to Photoshop integrated workflow. We employed Illustrator in Part 1 to trace our hand drawn sketch, lay down the shapes and define the basic colors.

Now we’ll take the vector drawing into Photoshop where we will refine the shading, add some textures, and complete the book cover with the appropriate typography. Let’s continue on with Part 2 of this series.
