To develop the cover, i did a few sketches first, really rough and quick to get the feel of it.

When the approach was more what i wanted, i did some different tests with the same concept

color test time!

then i designed the final cover a bit more

and added some color following my preferred color test

And here`s what happened! This will be the final cover of the book. IT WILL GLOW IN THE DARK!!

Some details :)

For the characters, i wanted to have 4 main characters. They would each represent my best friends: my dog, my husband and my sister. So I tried different characters in the search for those.

I chose this one for the boy

and painted it live at my workshop in Rome last summer! It was lots of fun.

I also designed a tote bag for the campaign that GLOWS IN THE DARK!

And i worked hard to get some line work art ready to make a super cool riso print (my first riso print) for you guys to have. It was hard to make the colors work but It`s looking good!

This is what the riso colors will look like

And the approximate size

These are 4 pins that I designed for the book as well. And these are the 4 characters I chose!

I decided to make a traditional painting from 2 of the main characters to see how they would look on textured papers and have some fun.

I used prismacolor pencils, markers and watercolor paper.
