The project
I was commissioned to paint the illustrations for the Chinese version of Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations". They wanted to give a fresh look to the book.
Here you can also see some of the line work and work-in-progress of the paintings. It was fun to draw since Georgian and Victorian era have such an amazing references (clothes, buildings, props, etc.)
