Kidglove-Style
Saucy-Style
No drawing description necessary. Or at least not with this one. This is what happens when you try to create your own ebook cover. You try and try again to find the right look. So far I've gotten two, and I think I'm sticking with the second one (saucy). The first one seemed to be going well, but it just didn't connect with me at the end. First, she just didn't seem to hit me as a black character. I didn't see that until the very end. And it's true when they say that sometimes drawings take on their own–we just have to listen to them. Second, I embellished too much around her eyes.
I realized that I should do all the embellishing through the computer. So I sauced her up some with a re-drawing to better fit the character. And I did all the extended work in PhotoFiltre.
However, the saucy image got to be too much also (should I share the original final version?). I got to make changes and keep her eyes simpler–as I'd learned my lesson the first time around.
Anyway, I'm on my way to work and wanted to keep this post quick. Any questions, leave in the comments. Also vote which do you think would make a cool ebook cover.
