Les Revenants

This is the book I made at the end of my illustration studies at ISIA Urbino. It's a selection of 7 tales from around the world, on the theme of revenants. Some are from oral sources that l've transcribed, some are translated from other languages into French. I created between two and three illustrations for each tale, using white and black watercolors and colored pencils on warm gray paper. Below you can find the cover and examples of internal illustrations.

We can see it's winter from the bare trees and the snow on the ground. The frame is a Bird's-Eye View above the trees, and we can see a hooded figure on a horse, dragging a dead old woman in a plow
