      @Heather-Boyd Heather, I thank you. I have one favourite paper texture and I can't resist to use it...

                This is my first time participating and decided Coraline by Neil Gaiman would be so much fun to illustrate a cover for! I had planned on adding colour digitally but after a few tests decided I kinda liked the greyscale. I'm not sure if I've seen too many greyscale covers though so maybe that wouldn't be appropriate!

                  @ShannonB Thanks! I was just about to return the compliment to your Coraline cover! Love the paper texture reading through! And I like the greyscale choice on your piece, too!

                            Hello

                            aiaiai here is another 'Lord of the Flies' cover ... this book made such an impression on me I really wanted to make something for it. I was doubting to enter because maybe my version seems too 'innocent' but that may also be a good thing. Good luck everyone and thanks for this great challenge!!

                                @ShannonB Thank you, I am happy you like it... I like so much your cover, wish I had made it. (I already asked you, but is it made with an ink!!!?)

                                  Hey Art Smiths!
                                  This was super fun! I've really enjoyed the challenge on this prompted. We need to do some more challenging stuff! Maybe do a book spread sometime?

                                  The Wind in the Willows has always been a story close to my heart. When I was a kid, we had a VHS tape of it, I always wanted to watch it.

                                  I love seeing what everyone has done! You all are great! Good Luck πŸ™‚

                                    @Squirrelsize This looks brilliant and I love how you've showed the back too, did you use a template to show how it looks on an actual book?

                                        The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

                                        I love what this book says about art and I really enjoyed working on this cover.

                                        This cover was drawn traditionally in watercolor with digital touch-ups.
