Plan A
Sophie Bignall drew three little characters for my next book cover and I then tried to use an eighteenth century painting of the famous Ironbridge as the background. But whatever I tried to do, and however much my Grandson, James Brinkler, manipulated the cover in Photoshop, the painting just would not sit happily with the charcoal drawing, (Sophie used charcoal so that this book cover
That's how the cover artist made the cover for my second book, Broken. She took a photograph I sent her and did the same thing. That is so kewl. <br /><br />I like the charcoal effect. I think the cover is mysterious. The children look forlorn, a bit sad. I see them and wonder why. I'd pick up the book.
Thank you, Joylene, such a battle with this cover. Good to hear that I am not alone with regard to my artistic efforts. :0) Although I am not an artist, so very pleased that you think the cover will attract people.
It's very inspired and interesting! I like the contrast of the stark black & white mixed with the smudginess of the charcoal drawing. I agree with Joylene. The expressions of the children make me want to pick up the book and delve into why they appear a bit woebegone. <br /><br />Popping in to say, 'Hello' and Happy Sunday afternoon! Have missed visiting my bloggy friends. Hope
Lovely to see you here, Larri, cheered me up. Invalid husband not too well today, but his friend has arrived so much happier Sunday for him.
Very nicely done! I think it's fabulous.
Thank you, Su, like every one else, or maybe more so!, I thrive on kind encouragement .
I think that it looks amazing. It was done very well. Congratulations with the progress.
It is such a great relief to finally finish this, Murees, at last I can get on with the editing!
I think it looks awesome. It's very hard to get permission to use images unfortunately. I've never had a reply to a request. NO wonder people abuse copyright!<br /><br />Lovely work.<br /><br />Did you know you have the dreaded catpcha codes on your blog? I don't usually comment when I see them, but I'll make an exception seeing as I can see it before I post my comment. If it
Hi Denise, thank you so much for your support, and no I didn't know about that wretched extra thing to reply, I deleted it, why has it crept back! Must delete again. Thanks.
I think that effect will look fantastic in the end. Can't wait to see it.
Thank you so much, Clarissa, will post the end result when my Grandson has put it together with title, etc.
Wow, what a creative way to put the different elements of your cover together! That's certainly one way to get a 3D effect:)
Thanks, Rachel, have just received the almost final cover - will post to see what friends think. :00
Hi Carole .. I agree - the charcoal cover is just lovely .. very clever .. cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary, I had to ask Sophie to draw the characters again, try to copy her original drawing for Candle Dark as needed the books to match. A battle to get it right for us both, but Grandson came to the rescue as before with his starlight effect.
