Hey folks! I’m putting together a post with both fun and technical details about my process for creating book covers, and I’d love to hear what you want me to talk about!

Here are some topics I’ll definitely be covering:

Concept Brief

Who comes up with the idea for the illustration?

How and where do I find references for characters and settings?

Do I read the books?

Illustration Process

My overall workflow: steps, timeline, and materials.

If you have any questions or topics you’d like me to cover, drop them in the comments! I’m excited to share more with you all <3 :)

I’m so looking forward to this, thank you! I have a question. You create covers for both indie authors and trad publishers. How different is the process? When working for trad pub, do you have any interactions with the author? Also, does your process change when you’ve already worked with an author? And (I don’t know how it could happen but people are weird) what happens if the author doesn’t like what you come up with? Turns out I had more than one question 😀

Do authors usually reach out to you for this process or vice versa?

Are there any particular artists that youve studied?
