Preliminary Sketches for a Book Cover

For my book cover design, I chose a revolutionary folk singer - Bob Dylan. 

 While thinking of the hero for my book I was sitting in the cafe, where one guitar player was playing 'Hotel California' in such a passionate manner, which brought me to the atmosphere of my parents' youth times.
That's how I brought to my memory this musician. While singing, he used to use two musical instruments, which are classical guitar and a harmonica. Bob Dylan was the first folk musician who 'went electric'.
That's why I decided to illustrate on sketches his musical instruments.
But the main figure is Bob Dylan himself. His face is the icon of the 60s folk music. He was like a miracle of that time. He never followed the rules imposed by someone else, he always played music and sang songs as they were in his head. This all was reflected on his rebel looking face.
