ok so this is a chapter on certain things you can do to spice up your design/make it more interesting and pleasing to look at.
yea yea iTs bEeN a yEaR idc here's a chapter.
1. FALLING /FLOATING OBJECTS
google things like falling leaves, petals snow, rain, bubbles etc and place them randomly all over your drawing. Make sure the ones CLOSER to ths screen are in front of the model/object while the ones FARTHER are behind the model/object.

this is one example. the butterflies are an integral part of the cover so they are bright and glowing to contrast the purple scheme.

another example, the red and green leaves are not an important part of the cover but add flair, however they are blurry to keep the focus on the model and deer. the ones closest to the screen are the blurriest as to not distract from the main model.
2. COLOURFUL MIST/FOG/BLUR FRAME
this is my favourite thing to do especially for icons, it just involves using an airbrush/a smoke overlay/blur frame filter to cover the screen apart from the main focus

for this one i used a bokeh overlay as a blur frame. i did that simply by putting it on overlay or something then erasing the centre with a large airbrush
