Hiya
I've been drawing caricatures for a few years now but it's not until I really thought about why I got into illustration in the first place that I remembered I really wanted to do book covers. I keep having ideas and doing sketches but not really going for it.
This challenge is a great way for me to get my thumb out of my butt and start putting together a new portfolio of cover work and fantasy painting, I've got two fake covers on the go so far and several sketches to work up.
Edit: Just going to leave this little slice of inspiration here.. http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/ <--only the worst sci-fi/fantasy covers
Invaluable advice: http://muddycolors.blogspot.co.uk/2013/0...overs.html
