This “Mike the Wizard” blog post documents the creation of the back cover from the first edition of Sally Book Bunny and the Search for the Lost Key. The illustrator is Ashmita Nandy 🇮🇳
The following text on this page (italicized in purple) are excerpted from Ashmita’s messages…
Here’s the sketch. The circle is only there to give you in idea of where the “fade out” effect will happen. And the blue part is the spine that is just a placeholder for now. Please give me your feedback.
Here’s how much of it is already done. I’ll wait for your reply to finish it.
Hi Mike, here’s the progress so far! The entire middle area within will be coloured in dark and “haunted” vibey way like we discussed. But the area outside of the circle will look like this. Let me know what you think.
It’s almost complete.
Let me know if you need me edit anything.
