This is my cover for the New Yorker. The one on the right is by the original artist, Tomer Hanuka. Obviously it's animated and digitally produced, which made it really hard to create something similar. For Hauka's cover, he said that the reason purpose behind it was to depict the nostalgic feelings that snow brings. So, in my portrait, I decided to make a red-headed girl staring out at a snowfall that is about to cover a set of mountains. With the watercolors I had, it was really hard to create a diverse set of a colors that reflected the depth of the mountains and differentiated the wooden porch from the brown mountains. But, I was able to make some black-brown mountains, red-brown mountains, and light brown mountains that almost remind me of the colors of the Grand Canyon. I also used a fine point sharpie to outline everything. I thought it would be similar to the black lines used in Hanuka's cover.
