A picture book journey of my designs and artwork that I constantly work on as I develop arthritis. If you want me to make a graphic, come on in and let me know! Beware when reading, I'm unapologetically foul-mouthed sometimes and I like cracking dad...
I'm not one for dark romance or any kind of abusive romance stories, so this was the first time I've ever made these kinds of covers. I had a lot of issues finding good pictures that expressed the possessiveness that both of them were looking for.
That said, I really like what I did with Lisa's so the tutorial will be below.
Without further ado, enjoy the covers while I go and cleanse my search history. 😅

Like I said in the beginning, it was difficult for me to really find good quality pictures. I ended up using the picture below which depicts a woman lying down and look at something above her.
Part of what my sister taught me was tonever look at what a picture is but to LOOK AT WHAT IT COULD BE.

So I rotated and mirrored her around so she'd be gazing to the right. Since the viewer 'reads' a cover from left to right (just like actual reading!), it was wiser to have her looking towards our right.
