Well it's not quite a painting, here is an excerpt from "
Interview with Chris McGrath, Cover Artist"
Quote:
What’s your general process for creating your art?
I read the notes or manuscript from the art director, then do sketches. Once a sketch is approved, I find models, costumes, and book a photo shoot (which I do myself). Then, once I have everything, I get to work at home using Photoshop and my Wacom tablet. Everything is the same as setting up a traditional oil painting, using the same methods I was taught in school.

Wheras Dan dos Santos actually paints his covers. Here's an excerpt from, "
Artist Dan dos Santos describes working on his 'favorite kind of job.'"
Quote:
“Although my finished paintings are typically painted traditionally, I almost always sketch digitally, which allows me to think in terms of color and value rather than line when concepting a piece. Using Photoshop and a Wacom Tablet, I quickly came across an idea that I felt really captured the flavor of the story.
“Once this sketch was completed, submitted and approved, I began preparing for the actual painting.
