    For some reason my image looks fine when I open it on my laptop, but the details on the sides seem to blur when I upload it so hopefully it looks fine on your side. Thanks for a fun challenge.

                            One of my favorite books. I’ve read it so many times! I was really excited to draw this one. It’s been on my list of portfolio pieces to do for a while now.

                                @Johanna-Kim Thank you so much for the feedback. This is my first attempt at a book cover, so I was super nervous about it. I really appreciate the encouragement.

                                  @cathy-spee I did all my thumbnailing and sketching on paper with color pencils. Then I snapped a pic of my final sketch, pulled into Procreate and drew over it. I added some adjustment layers to play with the colors and textures, too.

                                    @Ryan-Ehr Really great style (I love those trees!!!). And a nice decision to make the brick road zig-zag instead of curve. The simple color palette is very eye-catching. Nice job!

                                      @Megan-van-der-Berg This is just fantastic! I love the concept and metaphorical implications about the whole story happening inside the main character’s mind. It makes for both a beautiful and intriguing cover. Good work!

                                          I pulled this down because i'm redoing it completely! I guess no one can ever accuse me of being efficient. I didn't finish 😞

                                          To reread this as a parent made me see the story as an orphan girl that thought she had a home, only to realize her parents are not well enough to take care of her. So I made a landscape inspired by Aunt Em's hardship-induced mental illness. My imaginary Art Director was very understanding 🙂
