    "You can't judge a book by its cover."
    "Well, actually, you can, and that's the point of covers."

      You can't entirely judge a book by it's cover. Just from the out side you can.

    For covers, would you recommend backgrounds that clearly depict a recognizable location? Or would you recommend abstract colors and shapes?

    • @urdadsleftasshole69

      This is like really late but it completely depends; if you want to depict a specific scene, yeah go ham with the "oo what's this what is the lore behind this cover" background and things. If it's not that type of story, like it's just a contemporary or a simple romcom, things like the LI's first gift to the MC or the bus stop where the MCs met with a blurry background behind it would work, because that would be the inciting incident and already enough to spark interest

    Haha this is precisely the kind of video I needed, I struggle with cover composition! In fact, I often leave it for last because I may not have the feel of the visuals until I've drawn some of it out, then I may go back and say "oh this is what I want". I realized if I wait to figure out my cover, then I'll never get into making the comic! Thanks for sharing! (:

    Would you suggest making a black and white cover for a black and white comic?

    • @GlitchedRoyal
      @GlitchedRoyal 6 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      Perhaps instead of it being black and white, and a single extra color to something important on the cover, so you can emphasize it?

    • @jonahanderson9210
      @jonahanderson9210 6 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Color draws attention, which is what a cover is supposed to do. You can do it in black and white, but that might make it hard for the cover to do its job.

    Great video, once again. I would actually really like for anyone who reads this to maybe give me feedback on a comic cover I have... I would really appreciate it! It's my first one so I know there's amateur issues with it but id like some help to identify those things! If you wanna... my Insta is my TH-cam name

    • @GlitchedRoyal
      @GlitchedRoyal 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I just looked at it and it's very nice! It seems very clean and well drawn, I really enjoy the placement of the papers and the figure with the math problems inside, the only thing I would say is that the girl looking down seems a little boring? It has a bit of a static feel to it, but overall very nice! Good job!

    • @boggybunny8338
      @boggybunny8338 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glitched_Royal Alright thanks! Do you recommend anything specific that I could experiment with in the future?

    • @ecole5000
      @ecole5000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I looked at it too and I think it's done well. One thing I think could be worked on is how dark everything is which makes separating the background, the character and the word 'Perfect' a little difficult. I'd suggest finding ways to make the character and the title stand out against the background. Good luck!

    • @boggybunny8338
      @boggybunny8338 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nirboll Ya I was struggling with the dark colours for sure so I'll keep on paying attention to those things, thanks!

    • @ecole5000
      @ecole5000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Boggy Bunny No problem! One path to explore is to look up youtube videos about shading with complementary colors. It could be a way to add a pop to the character :)

    My comic cover hurts my eyes its a diagonal gradiant from pink to red with the protagonist and antagonist in a solid color with their fearures and body in white ink and instead of their face its an initial of the title, its really ugly but honestly who cares
