I've come a long way in drawing. I almost want to redraw the first one that's from about a year ago. 😅

which one draws you in more? Which would make you want to pick up my series?

1. Character art ✨

2. Abstract/liquid Gold cover. ❤️

3. Neither! 🫰

... Read moreChoosing the right book cover is crucial for attracting readers, especially in genres like fantasy and drawing. Book covers often serve as the first impression of your series. When designing, consider what resonates with your target audience. In this instance, Amberly Henning is looking for input on two designs for her new book in the series "Contained in Darkness." Cover art not only reflects the themes of the story but also sets the tone for the reader's experience. Engaging your audience in this decision through platforms like BookTok and relevant hashtags can foster a sense of community and interest. It’s also an opportunity to showcase your artistic skills and get feedback that can help in refining your work further. Many readers are drawn to visually striking art, which can significantly influence their purchasing decisions. To maximize engagement, share insights about the artistic process, creating a deeper connection with potential readers.
