Value Study for HAWAII!

It's been quite a busy year with the release of Book 3: OHIO! The Mystery of the Mound last spring. 

A trip to five of the Hawaiian Islands was an amazing experience and supplied me with so much information for Book 4: HAWAII! Pineapple Peril. I completed the first draft by September 2025.

Next came editing, editing, and more editing.   

Erik Drohman, illustrator and graphic designer extraordinaire, has been working hard on the cover. Here's the "value" study which is a simplified sketch focusing only on light and dark tones—no color—to establish composition, depth, and lighting. 

Let me know which one you like the best. I'll let you know my choice later...

I can't wait for the color version! Stay tuned!
