      Hi, all! This is my first post. Eek! I'm excited to just dive in. I went with a classic - Little Red Riding Hood, but with a spookier vibe. Pen and ink with watercolor, and a little lighting work/text on the computer. Lots of great art on these forums. Best of luck to everyone! -Marie Little Red Marie Burghard March Contest 2019.jpg

        @WindyWyoGal I like it. A darker take on the story.

          This is my first entry into one of these contests. I hope I’m up to par with everyone. I decided to go with one of my all-time favorite books, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you haven’t read it, close your computer right now, go out, and purchase it immediately. It’s worth your time!

            @alicia Your snow scene is quite nice and that added little snow "in the real world" so to speak 🙂 .

              @WindyWyoGal It reminds me of a paper cut out and a pop up book. 🙂 That's nice thanks.

                            @josegalue25 Hey, this is sooo cool! But is there a way you could separate the frame a bit from the center detail? I mean by playing with the different saturation levels etc? Or a different complementary color because the orange is quite heavy when you include so much of it in the background as well. Unless you were not asking for input from people, in which case I'm really sorry! 🤓 One last thing is just the heading, the word Armor is a bit detached from the rest of the title, and you need just a bit of breathing space as well for it to stand out better. Beautiful illustration!

                              Hello everyone, my name is Tyler J. Hallstrom, and I am an art teacher from Central Illinois. Currently, my students are reading Lord of the Flies, and I had to make a cover for this incredible novel. When I saw that this was going to be the topic for March, I was extremely excited. I am a little nervous that Lee White used Lord of the Flies for his example, but regardless, I hope you enjoy my take!

                                Here is my take on Harry Potter. I had my name on it but it ruined my design so I took it off hope that isn't a problem.

                                    @CobaB Hi, thanks for the feedback. I agree with almost everything you mentioned. On the link below you can see a little bit of my whole process...

                                    https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/7202/art-book-cover-march-challenge-wip/22

                                    Sadly, I only get to work on fun stuff and personal portfolio pieces on some weekends. Last weekend was one of those few weekends I had available to do the challenge and I won't have the time to address the issues you mentioned.

                                    I appreciate your time and feedback is the only way I can grow as an artist. Hopefully we get to see you jump on this challenge as well.

                                        First time making the deadline 😃
                                        Bought the kindle version after seeing this month's topic.
                                        I don't think I've actually read any of Philip K. Dick's work.
                                        I guess now's a good time to start going through it.
                                        Looking forward to seeing everyone else's ideas!

                                          Hi everyone!

                                          This is my second post and I havent introduced myself last time. My name is Irwan and I'm an IT Supporter at day and an Illustrator at night. Hopefully one day I will be a professional Illustrator, at least part time, currently I'm visiting the SKDZ Art School in Zürich, Switzerland and will finish my two year part time study of Illustration next month so I'm working on it:-)
                                          I found this forum by luck. Can't remember what I was looking for but I'm glad I landed here. I thinks it's pretty cool to have a possibility to exchange with other fellows and to challenge oneself with this monthly prompt to try new things in new ways.
                                          I did not expect to participate this month but today evening I was suddenly very motivated. This is what came out a couple hours later. Maybe I have to sleep on it for a night and then see it with a fresh view but I don't think I would be able to invest more time this month.
                                          I took the Story of the three Little pigs. I thought every one knows about the story and if they see the wolf on the cover it's clear which book they are holding in their hands. And people who don't know the story may wonder where those three pigs are and what's up with that wolf too.

                                          Good luck everyone!
