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.

@Megan-van-der-Berg just, wow

-

Hey everyone, here's my submission! Hope you enjoy! Everyone's covers are looking awesome- got some real killers out there!
Cheers

@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!
-
@JoshuaDages Thanks Joshua!

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
-
@carolinebautista this is incredible, so intriguing. I think you nailed something special about the story. I love the characters in the tornado, and the colored land contrasted with the black and white. WOW
-
@Coley thank you!
The story is actually really disturbing - in the first chapter, Aunt Em would scream every time Dorothy laughed. Desolate landscape, poverty, total isolation, and the people that adopted her don't even take care of her. kind of horrifying!Maybe someday i'll redo the image now that i know how to do it, but it's definitely time to stop working on it...
