      @jennymwine Thank you so much! I'm a bit of a sucker for paper textures to be honest! πŸ˜ƒ

          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.

                            @Claudi I think that’s a really original take on it. It looks innocent until you see the eyes and the pigs heads.

                                    @Squirrelsize Great choice to remove the tree trunk from the back, it flows really nicely. Beautiful work!

                                      Lots of great entries already this month. Many first timers too. It would be cool to see the entries break 100! Here's my submission:

                                            @andersoncarman this is amazing. I love how you chose to go traditional on the portrait and then added that streak of paint digitally. It works beautifully.
