Illustrated book cover for Il Profumo (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer) by Patrick Süskind.
This project explores the contrast between beauty and obsession, symbolized by a moth resting on a lily, a delicate balance between purity and darkness. The composition, rendered entirely in monochromatic blue tones, evokes the novel’s mysterious and sensorial atmosphere.
The illustration was hand-drawn with graphite pencils and digitally colored in Adobe Photoshop, combining traditional techniques with digital refinement.
